What is a tankie?
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

I’m not sure if He knows Rust well enough to do that, and having some sort of background in infosec would likely also be helpful.
Oh come on downvoters, that was funny! Haha
Thank you, I tried.
Tough crowd, eh?
Well, things have turned around! Haha

You probably got hit by a bunch of lemmy.ml brigade downvotes then real users showed up and upvoted you.
I was only one or two in the red and it’s three downvotes total. I wouldn’t exactly call that a brigade.
Fair enough. Just saw a similar but more extreme thing happen to another comment so I made an assumption.
