Hey everyone! Thanks for participating in Canvas. I wanted to make a thread to collect together suggestions people have that can be worked on before the next Canvas.

Feel free to also throw in suggestions for future Events we can build and run for the fediverse.

Ill be collecting suggestions together and making issues for them in the repository for myself or some other contributors to work on (the projects open source so anyones free to contribute! https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase)

    I would like a shorter timer for small instance. So bigger communities have a longer timer and small a shorter one. But i affraid it wont help at all.

    Protected area as in minetest. It would help against grief.

    Also for new account with 0 coms, just created during this canva event : restriction, second layer for drawing before approval…something like that ?

        Great idea we can organize that between our instance instead of waiting for the next year. :D

        I quickly drafted some rules :

        • the competitive instance chose together a subject
        • the pixel art must be original and not copy-pasted from web. we don’t use a template : hosted and template desactivated.each instance will have their private layer. Once the event is over, our draw will be revealed.
        • 2-3 day to draw and send the result
        • 1 week for voting

        I love drawing, i’m quite good at it, except perspective :)

      i’ve created an issue for the lower cooldowns for smaller instances

      sounds like a neat idea imo :)

      and for the second suggestion, i’d like to avoid imposing restrictions on new accounts as Canvas has brought a lot of people to the fediverse and i wouldn’t want to hamper their contributions because they just found out about it

        The problem is that if they know smaller instance have a lower cooldown, they can

        • create their own server
        • subcribe in a small instance. An alt account dedicated to spamming.

        So, the idea of lower cooldown should come with some security.
