I managed to overwrite half of the long German flag near the bottom, plus the original/lower South African flag, the Czech flag, and the Polish flag. I also did like a third of the background to your message and changed the "in" to "on". I didn't join the Matrix/Discord but your message is what motivated me to do all that, so maybe you're better at recruiting than you think ๐
I'm glad I managed to do some change! ...beyond, you know, pissing feddit.org off with my wiggly green line ๐คฃ
(It'll haunt their dreams until Canvas 2026.)
What's the story with the wiggly green line? Are those the 6 green pixels on the large German flag?
For a lot of the game, I was shaving the German flag's sides, top and bottom. My goal was to leave the text alone (it's cool), but with the LGBTQ+ flag as a background. After all, once the Australian flag went MIA, the largest country flag in the canvas was the German one.
However, since I was doing it by myself and plenty users were reverting my "creative deflation" of the German flag, we quickly reached a standstill.
So I thought on the best way to make at least some vandalism last forever, for a final act of defiance against ~~my Schweinekatze Siegfrieda waking me up 3AM out of nowhere~~ country flags. The solution was to place them in the last seconds of the canvas, somewhere it would be easy for me to plop them all together, but you had to change colours to undo it. Somewhere close to each other for visibility. The net result was a wiggling line between the red and yellow.
