As you may have already seen most of Reddit has gone dark including r/GlobalOffensive. We, the mod team of r/GlobalOffensive have created this alternative Counter-Strike community here for people who want to continue discussing Counter-Strike, bypassing Reddit's shenanigans.

We can continue to operate here, and share more on our actions and developments with Reddit in the comming days. Please bear with us, while we try to get used to Kbin and the Fediverse.

Hello and welcome!, you should know that kbin.social is having some trouble propagating posts and comments outside this server, so this might not be visible in the fediverse yet, see here.
My recommendation is once this problem is solved, you create another post so it reaches more people.

Thanks for the tip there. As we are quite new to the fediverse in general, we are probably going to do alot of reading beforehand, untill all instances are able to view ^^

There is another CS kbin over at https://kbin.social/m/CounterStrike

Should we stick with CS or try and see if you guys can take over that one somehow? I think that name is a bit better honestly. Stoked to dip into the fedi.

I'm fairly confident we are going back to reddit on 19th June. The lack of community here really hurts, only 500+subscribers so far.

There is already a replacement subreddit for csgo and it has over 500k+ members. We should go back and take back our place as the main CSGO discussion subreddit. Either we are very sure the community here will grow or we will lose everything we built so far.

i just want these retards to unprivate the fucking subreddit

i dont give a shit about their armcharir crusade, but theres so many useful settings and troubleshooting threads on the subreddit that are unreachable, because these fucking faggots are on a fucking powertrip.

people like you, man... you just don't get it, do you? the "retards" or "fucking faggots" you're referring to have been integral parts of building reddit into the juggernaut of human knowledge and user generated content that it is today. so have you! and so have i! i'm guessing you're too young to have been part of the ride (i'm talking reddit ca 2007), and too young to understand how reddit has come to be the "frontpage of the internet" that it's dubbed today. the blackout is meant to piss you off! but you're directing your anger in the wrong direction. it's reddit you should be angry with. the greedy tech corporation that no longer gives a shit about your user experience, your privacy, your community (mind you - reddit is just lots of communities, community is a strong value upon which it is built) – no, reddit no longer gives a shit. they want to find a way to monetize you and prop up the value of the company, so that u/spez (fuck him) can finally make his great exit via an IPO and just watch as the shareholders and stock market (wanting nothing but infinite growth) destroy what every single contributing user has built together since 2005, and turn our platform (sic) into just another POS social media doomscrolling bonanza à la the enshittification that has happened to e g instagram, facebook, tiktok etc.

"but what about the answer to my super specific question that I know is on reddit but I can't access it instantly" well boo-hoo take a timeout and read a fucking book or something and if you think really hard about it, maybe you'll come to realize that hey, there might be something to this protest/blackout and i should be happy that the moderators of MY community are taking MY experience seriously and are doing what they can to make sure you can keep having that great reddit experience you're used to not just now, instantly – but for years to come.

They are going to be more unreachable now they are paywalled off from apis and now you need to sign up to see what has been written.
