What would an r/place-like Fediverse event look like? (self.fediverse)

I know this has crossed the minds of more than a few people here over the past several days.

What would that event look like? A new platform that implements ActivityPub and attempts to federate somehow? A completely separate site (à la pxls.space) related only in spirit? Something in between?

Further, how do you think it would play out, given the difference in our userbase and Reddit's?

@[email protected] i think it'd be very intensive in terms of disk and network usage. Not only for the r/place-like host, but also for other Fediverse server admins.

Why would you write this to disk? RAM can easily hold a 1megapixel bmp

I was supposing the "place" would rely on ActivityPub, if so the messages sent to the "place" server would be stored by servers running on other platforms.
