These lyrics made me think a lot about life's meaning and the universe's mysteries

Now, I may not have the best memory, but I certainly don't remember these buttons being minimized like this before...

Aw damn, I was about to talk about it!

Here's what it looks like from PC for archival sake:

 

[nagalm]

considering autofellatio is the term for sucking yourself off, and autocannibalism is the term for eating your own body ฅ૮•ﻌ• აฅ i guess the more correct term would be 'autovore' ฅ૮•ﻌ•აฅ

auto is greek and vore is latin, so I propose either autophagy or ipsivore.

nevermind that sounds horrible

bro reading manga backwards

...and apparently the update limits guest reading, which is causing some consternation in the Discord.

lmao rip, the people who read manga that have chapters that go: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc

Weird update if I'm being honest. It took me like 7(?) chapters to get the message. If I was a newcomer who saw this, I would just steer clear of the website.

bro reading manga backwards

Wait, do you guys put the 1st chapter first? That's weird as hell, even as far back as V3 I always have the latest chapters on the first page.

MangaDex enshittifcation is real. Why did I choose a horrible time to start reading manga

 

[Dverin_Oshiban_Duren]

Iirc, somebody requested a feature to create incentive for people to sign in. Could this be the result?
It would reduce some problems, right?

It's not all bad, there's plenty of aggregators where you can get your fill of manga.

Yeah but they suck ass. This site has a decent community, and it just HAS to be the one with the higher ups aiming to be the Crunchyroll of mangas. Isn't this great?

I was a guest lurker for a few months I created my account. Why should we have to create an account just to use it? What is it for, to drive the number up to make NamiComi's pathetic life just a little bit more valuable to the investors? I was already born in a post-corporate internet. I don't want to lose what seemed to be the final bastion of the "old internet" to desperate corporate greed.

I hate to break this to you, but you never saw 'the old internet' - WWW killed it thirty-three years ago.

Absolutely this. It took a decent bit of time before I decided to make an account.

While true, the 2000s to early 2010s were fun times to be on the internet.

i wish companies were actually somewhat normal again and not just vessels for shareholders to get infinite money

Oh i know, I just didn't know how to say that people who want to read pirated manga shouldn't have to deal with this bullshit. Why do we need the "feed"? We already have profile posts, which is FREE in the forums. Why do we need to kill the manga side of the forums for something that's going to be worse? I want to read MANGA with ease. This update, while it won't affect, will prevent others from doing just that.

The API doesn't seems to add such limit though?? There is a rate-limit for fetching chapter images but still??
I guess it will be a win for third-party software if that is the case.
I just hope the staff won't put those restriction on those though?

As a former Classical Greek student I have to propose edêdesmaisis (passive present form of edô + sis).

@Bartolumiu @Grogzilla Any plans from the powers that be for a post about the 2026.5.4 update changes? Because that seems like it would probably be a good thing to have sooner rather than later.

Personally, I just hope adding this won't trigger some frustrated hacker to take down MD (again).
Reminder of what happened to the french site YGG back in March.

Yeah, it is always like that... But im not weird enough to read the end chapter first.


Oh, yeah, that limit. Like it would attract some malicious user.

I'm losing hope in this site, I'll sacrifice my email and the forums to make the higher up have a rude awakening.
