Nuke of 2ch (Canvas 47)
The second Nuke of 2ch was the nuking (pixel reversion and mass-banning) of 2ch users on Canvas 47. The cited reasons for the action, as described by the Pxls staff, were:
- Doxxing a user and threatening to dox their allies;
- Distribution of two unsolicited drawn child pornography images of staff members;
- Harassment of users, posting a Discord username on the threads and directing members to harass them.
Some members that assisted 2ch in their operations without being affiliated to them were allowed to remain, however.
The nuke essentially erased their victory over the Corner Gang as well as their "Parting Gift" raid over the Pride Faction.
Controversy
This nuke is debatably the most controversial nuke as despite only a few people being involved, hundreds were banned. this nuke is frequently blamed for killing pxls.space to an all time low until r/place2 came back and flooded new users to pxls.space. 2ch moved onto other sites in the end.
2ch is an anonymous imageboard and many believe that the child porn was sent on the threads was actually sent by someone on the pride faction as an attempt to sabotage the 2ch faction
