The idea of public canvases has been explored thousands of times: r/place, 1 million pixels,... This feels like something else, it's ok if it has its own identity, otherwise it devolves/converges into a place to draw dicks in.

It's a rectangular grid. People aren't going to troll with dicks, but swastikas.

This really feels like it defeats the purpose of the site ngl
Well maybe next time OP will actually do their analysis and figure out that the project is DOA before even writing one line of code.
I would think that over time more boxes are being unchecked, but I also see a lot of people re-checking the unchecked boxes.
Also, I would think the script kiddies would be automatically unchecking most of them by now.
Yet, nearly all (over 900k) remain checked.

The project was wildly successful. I didn't know who eieio was, and now I do. I suspect that's true for lots of people now.

This problem is traditionally solved by attempting to teach the aliens how to decode the pattern inside the pattern itself. For example a rendering might look like x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x…
anyone implement the game of life on this yet, for a particular line length?

Honestly that was one of my first thoughts when I saw this, someone is going to draw one of those. People love trying to be offensive in something that barely allows communication. I remember seeing some MMORPG that had no chat where players would log in and just stand in the shape of a swastika. Makes me wonder if it's reasonable to write an algorithm to detect that.
I built a grid-based music sequencer for the web a while ago that lets people see projects other people made in a side panel. I very quickly realized I needed some manual content moderation because some people immediately started sharing patterns that looked like dicks and swastikas lol
(developer here) this is....more popular than i expected. the server's gonna be having some problems for a while
Is it ok if I try to write a script to uncheck all the boxes? I don’t want to spam your server and ruin it for everyone if there’s no rate limiting. (I wince mentioning this publicly; still have flashback trauma from when some HNer wrote a script to download as much data as possible from our Firebase and got a $1k bill overnight.)
