pixelante 

An insult coined by Miami lawyer and anti-videogame crusader Jack Thompson to describe gamers who fought back against his attempts to ban violent games. While intended as an ad hominem insult, some gamers have taken the mantle on proudly as "pixelantes".

Believed to be a portmanteau derived from "pixel", a reference to videogame graphics, and "vigilante".

pixelante 

Originally, a term coined by Jack Thompson, referring to members of the internet-based gaming subculture who have taken it upon themselves to take action against him for his harassment of Mike Krahulik, the artist from the webcomic Penny Arcade.

The term has since been reclaimed by two designers at Straight Loop, who have made a tshirt design based on the word.
"Several weeks ago some gamer idiot (sorry to be redundant) managed to email me thousands of death threats from a blast e-mail service based in Ireland using the following e-mail address: georgewbush@whitehouse.gov. The Secret Service shut that pixelante right down."

pixelcanvas.io 

Almost a remake of r/place, but with unlimited space and a smaller delay time. The delay between placing another block is usually around 10 seconds when placed on a pixel that hasn't been used, 30 when placed on one that has been used, and an extra bonus of time of the age of the specific pixel. Similar to r/place, there are factions that place their art over a wide span of areas, which can be a pretty nice sight to see.
Person 1: "Dang it dude, I'm sad r/place closed down."
Person 2: "Don't worry man, there's some dope place called pixelcanvas.io!"
Person 1: "Really? Let's check it out!"
