The Internet in a [giant] nutshell

A project of discord.io. Started in April 2017--everything you see there has been posted in the past 11 months. Any large images had to be created by large groups of people working together. Dominant subjects: cartoon characters esp. anime and My Little Pony, and Brazilian football. Internet "autism" summarized in one image.

It's similar to Reddit's stupid r/place, but much larger. I've tried to scroll to an edge and never seen one (nor does it wrap around as far as I can tell). It also has its own subreddit.

Discord has an impressive-looking API. This is the page on emojis in the manual. I noticed that the data-type for id was listed as ?snowflake. Apparently, it only snows on Amazon's cloud? Speaking of oceans, Palau .pw has parking lots full of "discord bots"... for navigating through this .io.

Yeah, Discord is a weird little hermetic subculture. Most open-source projects are focused only on the primary product, but Discord seems to attract some very twisted harcker and "artistic" types. And the .pw section is classic hacker mental masturbation, 57 pages of WTF:
