Doubtful. If you're running a somewhat known FOSS C or C++ project, chances are you've had to close issues from Rust fanatics aggressively urging you for a rewrite, and shaming you if you object. Nothing has changed in that regard.

I think the best example is the continuous vandalization of cppreference [0][1]. I've never seen such behavior from another language community. There's also continuous mocking/brigading campaigns organized on reddit and mastodon.
