i personally do not like the new integrated comments. i don't think i'd like them even if they were here (and the only option) when v5 began. maybe they will be 'better' in the long run according to metrics, but to me it feels like the last good place for manga discussion is being replaced (inb4 "the forums still exist" i know but the intention is clear that the higher ups would prefer the integrated comments)
I personally would prefer if the integrated stuff was more forum-like and the goal was to merge the forum into the mainsite, so we don't have a shit forum software anymore and something the devs can actually make good.

I know, babe. You loved my post so much and decided to jump into the boat. How about we jump into another boat, hope to find a legacy like mangodex dot org v3.
at this point i think we're gonna have to roll up our sleeves and make it ourselves bro. or bandwagon on an up and coming site that doesn't ban us for saying slurs (as we often do)

I've already seen some piracy sites that tried to go both ways (with an integrated comment section + disqus) and it never really worked. One of them usually was never used..

Nice boat.

i think the current design (and v3's for that matter) have a personality that the 'corporate mindset' will never create. you get a cool thing and then it gets bought or wants to 'go big', so it becomes sanitized and "user-friendly", with an interface to reflect that. a tale as old as time

limit chapters
ad inclusion
Weren't both of those precluded by announcement posts? Though the API one was vague.

I did a quick search and couldn't find any posts talking about the ads before the announcement post on Oct. 2. Maybe I missed something?

improvement-worthy
Agreed. The transparency page needs to be searchable by title, and the removed manga should have that removal request linked on their page as a separate tab (like art, related, chapters, etc.)

Double agree on chapters removed by GLs. I like that they've made group removal requests more strict.

Personally, I'd prefer if there was maybe an automated list that showcased Mangas hit by DMCA or mass deletion, where they get added if they are in your libary or part of such events.
Either that or a sort option that allows to sort by chapters in your language, along other deterministic sort options(Like "longest time without update" would be incredibly useful.)
