Why did you post a screenshot instead of posting/quoting the text?

Text would have been more accessible and more discoverable.

I thought having the screenshot would be more authentic. I would have added Alt text if Lemmy supported that.

Not really, I just saw the post and thought I would offer advice on a more technical issue. Is många just Japanese comics though? I liked ATLA, but that's a more western perception of eastern culture than actual eastern comics, isn't it?

Because of fucking korean webtoon garbage of all things, just only allow manga and leave the manhwa crowd to find something else.

Hey, I use it more for Korean webcomics than manga, there's lots of us. And kakao doesn't really have a leg to stand on with either against tachi, it's just that the devs don't want the hassle, which is completely understandable.

I use it mainly for manhwa too, since it's really easy to find higher quality manga downloads compared to manhwa with it being webtoon based.

This was stated in their official announcement.

In the upcoming days:

  • Our core GitHub repositories will be taken down.
  • The official social media accounts will be closed.
  • The official Discord server will be repurposed into a general community for those who are interested in staying.

legal battle is a headache for a bunch of open source devs who work in remote and communicate in discord. also having a legal battle will involve their irl names which is not a good thing for them.

I guess a positive outcome of this might be people more seriously considering alternatives to Github. Something about MS owning the defacto developer platform never sounded good to me.

it still works for you because the external extensions are still working, all we can hope is for those external extensions to work properly until we get a proper replacement.

Temporarily, you can use this repo for extensions.

I did a bunch of downloading of stuff I plan to read before the extensions stop working. Should give me time to wait to see what develops until then.

I'm a little dumb and late to this so please forgive me if this is not a good question, but can you not develop an app under a pseudonym or any other way to protect your identity or was this like they tracked each dev down, got their info and legally threatened them?

Edit: I'm referring to Tachiyomi I forgot to mention that

It's not copyright infringement, so you can just tell them to fuck off and make them sue you. If they submit DMCA, you (and because it's open source, that means anyone, today) can counterclaim and it will get put back up until they actually go to court.

It's just a lot to deal with harassment from a motivated company's resources.

put the repo back and do what? you can make a fork before they take it down and maintain it yourself if you can. tachiyomi needs external extensions to do it's job, even if it won't be maintained anymore. and idt neither tachiyomi forks or external extensions will be for long too.
