While many will be understandably angry or disappointed in our lack of backbone or perceived selfishness

I’m angry and disappointed, but it is not because awesome people stop dedicating their free time to provide a free product, it’s because some money hungry corporation decided to bully less powerful individuals who didn’t even do anything wrong.

And it’s not the first time that this company did fucked up stuff…

🖕

Their reasoning is sound. They don’t want to defend against a corporation for a hobbyist project. There’s already going to be a fork so that’s good I guess. I just hope jay forks it for a J2K version.

RIP Tachiyomi, time to try out Kotatsu

Well, fuck.

This is obviously sad and frustrating, but

P.P.S. I think someone on Reddit owes someone else $100 now.

Where can I find this juicey reference?

What a cowards approach. Closing up shop due to legal threats is one thing, but then just lock the discord, and official reddit so people can’t discuss the decision amongst themselves because they can’t face their own actions, what a bunch of sad sacks.

The days in between the last update for the app and this decision is comical. Just constant questions about this extensions change and people worrying that this was the end of Tachiyomi and the support staff literally saying “If you think we are dying then just leave” shows a toddler level of professionalism and empathy.

4 days…
