    It was already planned to end. The canvas wide FUCK SPEZ! has nothing to do with it. It was actually coordinated because they know it’s ending. The white FUCK SPEZ! is only done during the white out, where to get the canvas deleted to blank (which also happened last year), users are only able to add greyscale tiles and eventually just white. There were plenty of other fuck Spez messages and art, and some were censored like the guillotine or when the name Steve Huffman was used directly, but this wasn’t one of them.

      Wait, so the whiteout on last year’s canvas was due to limited color? I thought it was organically done. Now my non-appreciation with last year’s r/place canvas is less.

        Haha, yea. I don’t think you can make people coordinate that much unless it’s bots.
