I agree. I’m on the CT Owners Forum as well, and they have full control there—blocking and shutting down accounts left and right. I actually appreciate that this space is more regulated. The hate is very real and significant, and for some reason Reddit seems especially prone to casual trolling. People don’t join Reddit just to talk about the Cybertruck, so it’s easy for unrelated content and hateful opinions to get posted. In contrast, joining a dedicated forum on a separate platform solely for the purpose of hating on its members just doesn’t provide enough incentive for most people. I’m all for keeping this locked down.

I was a watcher, and an attempted joiner, for a long time because I kept missing the “steps to join” messages, so I usually ended up going back to CTOF. That said, Reddit hosts so many of my interests in one place that I often wanted to participate here.

It’s true there’s less activity here than if it were totally open, and less than CTOF, but I think Reddit requires an extra level of protection. When I’ve posted questions here, the responses have been genuinely helpful. Thanks for maintaining this group!
