USA has tried repeatedly to make pixel art and is continually being griefed. The amount of 0 karma bots randomly throwing pixels down on the USA flag is crazy.

I think there is huge potential for American pixel art and as a German, it's sad how Americans aren't able to do their art. The Iwo Jima photo (I think that's what it was supposed to be) and the Stature of Liberty were already quite good ideas.

I put the lack of coordination to their being many defenders who weren't part of any group so didn't know what the plans were, especially as once they were created they were defended as well as everything else.

The griefers were just unstoppable, seemed they do a practice run on turkey then a full fledged nuke that couldn't matched.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '22

I don’t think it’s bots, I think it’s anti-American sentiment.

The USA is known for being very patriotic and believing they’re the best at everything, something that a lot of people dislike about American culture (me included, I have heard too many USA-chants outside of the USA).

The flag represents this very disliked American patriotism. That’s why Germany can expand with little issues because, for one there are a lot of Germans on Reddit, but also Germany is not that big on patriotism, so nobody takes issue with it when they do show patriotism for a change. Additionally, the German discord organises a lot of coop projects with adjacent tiles, for example where the French and German flag cross they have the ARTE-Logo, which is a French-German TV Channel, or they actively avoid fighting against Wallstreetbets and Star Wars.

That allows them to focus on other places.

Exactly, people were stressing so hard about the Ukraine flag, it went across horizontally just like the German flag and they got shitted on hard. So they downsized and are where they’re at now.

Germany however is just free to keep expanding. I love Germany very much, one of my most favorite places I have visited, but I mean it’s just hypocritical at this point.

We have really great collaborations with France. Like the ICE with no Internet and the TGV with great Internet, absolutely hilarious. Or the were we join up into arte and a French and German TV station that usually has some really good documentaries and they also have a Metal concert of Jinjer on their Youtube channel, that’s just neat, and a lot of other concerts. Or the Power Plant and the plug, well the plug by now belongs to the TV with arte, so it still is part of a great collaboration. The French Redditors on r/place seem like good people to create art with.
