Level 8 reached! Surviving the "Great Purge" & eating cake

What's an announcement post without the subsequent doomposting flood? It's tradition after all!

I agree. So every title page that I added to MangaDex could be wiped.
I thought, even without the chapters, at least MD could stay as a register for every manga, manhwa and manhua that were published.

next level evil lmao i wonder if these mfs seethe that the filthy gaijin are reading glorious

I was a casual reader for almost a year before i finally made an account. I love this. The first anime I watched was Takagi, and the first manga I read was also Takagi (ignoring anime like Doraemon that I watched as an infant. Those don't count. I also wouldn't count the few pages of Gekiga Hyouryuu I read in my middle school library because of boobs).

What do you mean 2019 was seven years ago?

I was also a casual reader and I was reading majo taisen an thought why not make a account.

So no announcement about the poorly-thought-out MD social media feed? (I mean conceptually it's fine, but I feel like it's going to go bad really quickly in reality.)

a certain other piracy site is insanely poorly moderated due to being run by 1 guy who gives zero fucks about moderation and it is actually hell on earth

mangadex trying to become social media is dumb enough for me wanting to delete account, if only I could export follows/read history.
either way deleting account is "temporaly unavaiable", so I guess that'll have to wait till someone will stop being scared of losing userbase of data to sell to advertisers.

To Year 9 and Beyond
They say you know you've made it when you have a target on your back. If that's the case, 2025 was our biggest year yet.

As the artwork below shows, we know exactly what we're up against. But honestly? We're too busy enjoying the cake to worry about the crosshairs. Let them take their shot, we'll be here for the next one.

Thank you for sticking with us through the downtime, the DMCA waves, and the chaos. Here's to another year of reading!

The MangaDex team

P.S. There's no funny quotes this time, Index ate the budget.

So I've got an actual question.
How do you feel about Pace Capital (the NamiComi angel investor) recommending de-risking on NamiComi in their Q4 25 and Q1 26 guidance?
That is probably bad as, don't forget, NamiComi is Mangadex's puppeteer//manipulator//fatal parasite operator now.

I am also officially requesting a Cloudflare price quote for the servers after you nuked probably half of all content last year and are now removing more.
I know its not going to cost over 100K anymore.

Made this account during my yuri phase to read Bloom Into You, cursing myself with this username... Been a good long while, though MD ain't dead yet. Hearing that all titles that depict sexual activity involving minors are being removed? Good riddance, tbh, other sites exist for it. Just don't go touching the non-H content?

You can never guarantee that. Giving a thumbs up to the removal of content on bullshit moral grounds without a real foundation simply opens up the door for more content to be purged later on similarly shaky grounds as they try and make the site squeaky clean and advertiser friendly.

And I agree with that, there's no guarantee but I figure to wait and see if they actually do. No point in overreacting before anything actually happens. If you want, start doomsday prepping ¯\(ツ)/¯

Hearing that all titles

Just 10 titles.

Is dex getting DDOSed or is it all over?
