After 15 years or so of relatively plain sailing, comment platform Disqus is cracking down on sites that violate its terms of service. Pirate manga and anime sites have received notifications that Disqus will no longer provide services after copyright infringement came to its attention. With evictions now spreading to sites including FitGirl Repacks and KickassAnime, it's a race against the clock to export years of chat in the 24/48 hours notice given.

Note that if your site is running on wordpress, you can just make your site a threadiverse community, and therefore people would be able to comment from either your site directly, or by using lemmy/piefed/kbin.

Oh, whatever will we do without Disqus' slow ass crappy commenting platform????

People have warned about this risk since disqus started getting popular. Based on my experience, no matter how nice you try to be about it, people choosing this kind of solution can give zero fucks about this, and consider that immediate convenience trumps everything. So, cheh.

Wow I just emailed MyReadingManga asking them to delete my account cause I didn't need the email anymore and I couldn't change it, and now I see this. Wonder if they're gonna get hit with the ban. RIP, hopefully they do the conversion to threadiverse to save the comments since they are a WordPress site.

Never in a million years I would expect to see another MyReadingManga reader in lemmy.

I've been consuming BL, Yaoi and m/m since middle school, so I was scientifically engineered and fated to find MRM one day out of desperation. I'm also a cyber student and love looking up privacy shit for the fun of it, so I joined the fediverse. I used to be on there a lot but now I frequent AO3 more.

I felt like I was in on some crazy secret when I saw how one of the pirated manga (Tadaima Okaeri, the ABO one...) got an anime last year. Felt surreal knowing some of that stuff is actually getting published 😅

"Out of desperation" haha story of my life.

I've even tried to join as an Ao3 volunteer to give back to the community but rejected on the base that I sounded like I have a life. Blessing in disguise really, I don't think I have the mental capacity to handle so much online fandom discourse. 😅

Surreal, ABO have come so far from a random Supernatural kink meme fic prompt to a full blown anime. Respect.

Why do pirate sites voluntarily leak all their data to big corporations?

That was how this morning I learned fitgirl had a comments section.

That seems like a perfect use case for https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30018034

dbzer0 will be taken down too one day
