This message has been posted on their discord server yesterday, currently the app is being worked on and has no definitive ETA. We probably have to use other forks until that. I don’t know whether I can share the discord server’s link so not sharing that until a mod gives heads up.

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.

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.

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.
