The flag is basically complete, aside from art and the rainbow checkerboard. Thank you to everyone who helped!

Special thanks to @veroxii@lemmy.world, @emperor@feddit.uk , and @ianbkulin@c.im who did a very large amount of the flag.

Here are most of the other people that helped. Sorry if i missed anyone, i can't check every pixel.

It always happens. People think it's funny to destroy/troll stuff someone has painstakingly created. I remember the poor Canadians couldn't make their maple leaf a few years ago on Place, because people kept vandalising it.

The same trolls that are attacking the flag have messed with the Union Jack itself. I haven't bothered with the template, so I can't be sure how to repair it. Maybe the Brits will wake up and fix it, soon.

Edit: Or not. The Canvas froze 4 minutes ago (12pm WST/2pm EST). We almost got it cleaned up.

Yeah thanks mate. I saw you helping out. It was hectic! I wasn't using the template either - just eyeballing stuff and trying to see what they changed to change it back. I knew it was freezing at 2pm.... so knew we just had to survive. I think it ended pretty well for us considering everything they threw at us in the last 3 hours.

Feels like it was the emu wars all over again!

I just saw the "finished" canvas and to be honest, it's not that bad; it's mostly the shading they screwed up but from afar, it looks ok.
