That was a rough ML, but we're over that chapter gap so... ok I guess.
And the reddit mtl-ers not wanting to upload here.
There is usually some level of slapfight with the MangaDex admins and some TL groups (with varying levels of justification) but there's a reasonably big hapening.
The current big issue is two fold:
First, MD has registered a company in the UK. Let's skip over politics/ramifications with OFCOM and no free speech, people are not happy that it looks like MD might be trying to monetize the site in an official way which would likely mean kowtowing to publishers and there being another "DMCA Purge".
NOTE: I am not offering any value judgements or likelyhood assessments, just reporting what the community sense seems to be.
Second, and very likely related, a lot of "deep ecchi & H" Loli and shotacon series got removed from MangaDex. This is part of global tightening with data providers demanding the removal sexualized images that seem to depict very young children (this is due "anti-AI ChildPorn" laws that are being passed where the image being fictional is no longer an absolute defense), but a MangaDex admin posted a statement that was (to be generous) very argumentative and it rubbed a lot of people and TL groups the wrong way.
So some TLs are avoiding MD again.
