Hallo hallo,

MangaDex is turning five years and there are probably plenty of people who don't know what differentiates MangaDex from other aggregators or the staff that runs it. We've been holding this AMA every year to let people know just how easy it is to get into contact with us and that we're open to answer questions whenever.

And for the unfamiliar, MangaDex differs from other aggregators because our site is ad-free, active scanlation groups get full control over their works, we don't compress images, all uploads to the site are done by users instead of bots, we support more languages than just English or Spanish, multiple groups can work on the same series, and of course we disallow uploading official rips.

If you have any concerns, issues, general curiosities, questions about the newly revived forums and rewritten rules, or anything else you'd like to know feel free to ask us. We pride ourselves in how transparent we are. Questions for our developers can directed at me and will be answered in proxy.
