    So it’s like crowd sourced graffiti or something? I still don’t get it but whatever makes you happy I guess.

      It started as an April Fools event. Reddit used to do unique April 1 events. This one was popular. Makes people make accounts so they can have another pixel to place. Makes coalitions. You would see flags between two countries defending each other.

      Then they brought it back for 2022 because they’re out of ideas. Here’s the timelapse, it’s pretty interesting: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K5O3UgLG2Jw

      I’ve seen comments that this is just a desperate bid to increase engagement before the IPO. So while it would be funny to put the logo on, it’s engagement nonetheless.

      I haven’t ever participated in it but its just a canvas you can draw stuff on but requires lots of people cooperating together. Could be fun to do with friends I guess, like a common thing is drawing your countries flag with fellow countrymen
