The rectangle was placed by piXelBow@toast.ooo, with the pixel times sometimes matching to the millisecond.

        Do you have a template for that QR-Code? Also did you tell @grant@toast.ooo about this? They are able to block the person and also revert the pixels. (Even though they might be busy rn)

    Just saw this

    during the time this was posted there was a bug that allowed for pixels to be stacked up very high and also the canvas wasn’t properly syncing

    if you do notice anyone else doing botting send a message about it on Matrix or Discord

    took a peek at their previous pixels and the more recent ones don’t look suspicious as well

      The user’s whole history is extremely suspicious and composed of actions like that. Here is just one random example from two days after the alleged botting took place:

      That’s 35 pixels placed in less than half a second.

        Yep, I saw that after the event concluded

        The user did get punished during the event for exploiting that bug tho
