Hard to believe French people are able to defend against thousands of raiders at 6 in the morning. The bots are programmed to place a specific color in a specific spot, so when the r/place ended and all colors got replaced with white the entire French flag dissapeared in under 5 minutes. People complained about this a lot once the event was over since Reddit didnt put any requirements as to who can participate, so an account that is 0 days old with 0 karma and a randomized name is able to place pixels. Kinda ruins the point of the entire event.

the idea there was that if we made it two flags the cannabis and maple leaf flag could each have their own, it was quite logical, until one accounts for the trolls and griefers before the fade away you can see the flag coming together and taking better shape as well, becoming quite akin to the 2017 canadian flag which had the provincial flags surrounding it

Canadians were getting griefed by Canadians, Peru, Spain, USA, and bandwagoners Also if you can find the heatmap, the leaf was clear as crystal. Pixels were going where they needed to be.

[@DatGuy12345]

I love how Chile was like homies with Canada and made a heart on their flags

[@viceregentofducanada9384]

Fun fact: on an older version of Canada’s old flag (the Red Ensign) the maple leaves (there was a bud of 3 instead of just 1) were green. So, maybe rather than just potheads vandalizing it, we had some traditionalists afoot too 😸

[@sovietmoose5624]

To be fair, the struggle between Maple Leaf and Cannabis Leaf was already enough to destabalize it, let alone the complex shape meant fixing griefed pixels was hard to do by just looking at it without any corodinate useage.

[@lightheedead]

Some people litterally *ANIMATED* BAD APPLE on there, and these guys couldnt even draw a maple leaf

they didn't destroy the US, they only took over the pretty much abandoned land, as the US moved to the coordinates 1776,1776

Honestly, I like to imagine they were just trying to protect the “Every Child Matters.” banner from getting vandalized therefore they didn’t have much time to work on the leaf because that be really wholesome in a way.
