TL;DR: Collaborative pixel art shouldn't feel like an endless chore of fixing vandalism, nor should it require a team of moderators constantly scrutinizing every corner of the map just to keep it clean. I built Pixart.world to solve these systemic flaws. By making artworks inviolable, we’ve created a safe space where you can focus on creating, not defending, and completely removed the need for excessive micro-moderation.
