Can’t we stop with the eSports news about CS on kbin?
I understand that this magazine was created as a substitute for reddit, but now that the globaloffensive subreddit is active again, can’t we think of a way to distinguish it from reddit?
I suggest that we make this more of a community about Counter-Strike and ideas and discussions around it, not a pool for regurgitation of eSports news. I don’t care which team frozen goes to, or elige, or anyone for that matter.
I am of the opinion that this platform should try to distinguish itself from reddit, and discussion/news about the pro scene should be limited.
I only subscribed for the esports news.
Personally, I like having the news here since I’d rather not go back to Reddit. Feel free to post non-eSports related stuff here though, the more content the merrier.

I’m here mostly for eSports news so I disagree. Also this sun needs more content to take off, in the future, we could consider branching off a pure CS eSports community but not yet.
Maybe an eSports (for any game ) community would make sense…
I’m not even sure what the content would be without the esports part? 90% of content on globaloffensive is esports related, the rest 9% is primarily CS2 news (which will dry up within a year) and 1% sick plays. Even with a bigger community this site would be in a content drought without esports.
I have blocked Reddit on my network so I would love for this to be a total replacement of the global offensive subreddit.
I disagree and hope we get the CS Match Bot up and running here. I seem to recall reading that when the kbin API is updated it can be ported over.
Other CS subs that were less eSport focused appeared decidedly less “quality” to me.
People like different things. I used to follow CS esports a bit but now I don’t. Filters and tags on kbin/lemmy would help with this like they have on reddit but I don’t think it’s fair to exclude esports from the magazine because it’s also on reddit.
