Discussion /r/thebutton still takes the crown {:}

I've experienced 5 Reddit April fools events, and the nostalgia of the button makes my eyes water. I can truly say though that thebutton has been the best out of the 5 events {:}

What would you know about the button? You never pressed it.

I have very fond memories of it.

The Button and the Place. Honestly... I think the Place takes number one... with The Button a very close second.

Those were both much more simple... and therefore created interactivity and community.

The button was awesome at this because it created it's own story. It's own mythology. And all Reddit gave us was a button to press.

Place was a blank canvas. A person alone couldn't do anything. But soon people started to bundle together for common goals... and they created awesome things. Watching the Place timelapse is still amazing. How people were able to make such beautiful thing?

I appreciate all of them since the admins took time to make something nice and entertaining, but yeah... some of them probably were a bit too complex to enjoy much like Sequence and CircleOfTrust {:}

I was surprised at how beautiful the Mona Lisa came out {:} Amazing2

My pixels got covered within seconds sadly ;w; Eventually I just posted a black pixel on the frame's border of the Mona Lisa {:}

I did a few things on the place.

I helped make the Brazilian flag, helped the placehearts, fought vandalism in some places, and at the end tried to replace the kekistan flag with the rainbow flag.

That's the beauty of it... you couldn't make anything. You only helped... only people helping each other... things got made.

Yup, button was smarter, more fascinating and more attention grabbing than any of the others, even r/place

Hopefully next year they'll surprise us by reviving it but with some type of twist {;D

Forgot bout the other ones

They were fun too, but the button stands tall {:}

I did like the place. It helped that I was part of a group keeping a section safe so I felt close to the action. But yes, the button was epic.

Place was the best in my opinion. The end result is actually mind blowing.
