Well they do threaten "strong legal and institutional responses against over 100 forked GitHub pages".

I'm surprised evilplushie only posted a screenshot. It's worth looking at the thread for the replies and the community notes that got cut off there.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know: Tachiyomi doesn't host any content, and by itself it does nothing illegal; it's a browser that supports external extensions and hosts, not just some sources in the grey area, but also completely legal sources like Manga Plus by Shueisha and Line Webtoons, or local files.

They devs will just go off of github if it actually does get hot. If big dick Nintendo lawyers couldn't do shit against any of the switch hacking I doubt the korean manga peeps will be able to either though.

I've actually checked both their app and stuff like mangaplus to not be a hypocrite and honestly, all of them are kinda unusable. Barely any options, no ways to sync to my list to have it up to date(I like to remember what I read but sometimes I cannot, just too much). I think, as usual Gaben is right and piracy is a service problem. Give me an app like Tachiyomi with everything on it, I'd gladly pay 10 or even 15 bucks easily each month for content I do enjoy. The way this is though? I just buy the manga officially, or some merch from official sources if possible.
