The decision to make the r/Cybertruck subreddit private seems to be a response to relentless mockery and trolling, highlighting the thin-skinned nature of its fanbase.
In a move that many interpreted as defensive, the subreddit claimed they needed to filter membership due to an overwhelming influx of trolls, showcasing the polarization surrounding the Cybertruck's design and brand.
Before its transition to restricted access, r/Cybertruck had around 72,000 subscribers, significantly less than its parody counterpart, r/CyberStuck, which boasts over 154,000 members. This disparity reflects the ongoing ridicule and love/hate relationship with the Cybertruck.
The moderators of r/Cybertruck had hinted at going private previously, pointing to a continuous struggle with trolls and toxicity, suggesting a long-standing pressure faced by the community.
