As you have probably noticed, r/GlobalOffensive is still private in protest, due to Reddit's recent API changes, which you can read more about in the link:

Due to the lack of meaningful change, we will remain private for the time being. We will re-evaluate our stance on the 19th of June and will keep you updated in the relevant channels, as we go along with this extension.

If you wish to continue discussing CS in general you can join the Discord discord.gg/cs-2 or stay here on kbin.

Look, the only way this protest is gonna get anywhere is if there's a legit ALTERNATIVE to Reddit. Let's face it.

Discord? Come on, it's a hot mess for browsing content. It's way too easy to miss stuff from other channels. Reddit makes it a breeze to find this content cause you can just upload clips/gameplay or a content piece.

And good luck trying to navigate Discord to upload these clips. There's no upvote incentive, so why bother? So no, Discord ain't a replacement for Reddit. All this blackout on the sub is doing is cutting down on the CS2 chatter, and that ain't good for the game.

And don't even get me started on Kbin. It's an even worse alternative to Reddit than Discord, if you can believe it. So, no, Kbin ain't the answer either. We gotta do better, period.

Stop being disingenuous. We get it, you like reddit. To say that Kbin is an even worse alternative to reddit than discord is just completely laughable. I think the reason many people are ending up here is exactly because of its similarity to reddit. Most of the issues with kbin can be easily fixed as well.
