A Mangadex alternative that are decentralized via ActivityPub, where groups can host their own instance with P2P image hosting seems cool.
Imagine having your manga updates directly showed on feed (if you want, some group release on Facebook already doing this, mostly oneshot).

Oh no... Is there no alternative as of now? (I use J2K)

OOF
Having the uploader be liable for copyright infringement will kill MD for obvious reasons
-
And what is in your eyes the difference to MD having the liability? Both are fans doing things for the community.
The person writing the statement in the OP knows it's bad to be liable but expects the persons making MD to take that liability instead of themselves. Strange thought to me.
I'm only a reader myself, but I still thought everybody involved knew that the possibility of an DMCA takedown always existed and kept as much anonymity as possible to escape it.
In my opinion this could even strengthen everybody:
\ If MD doesn't save anything identifying the uploaders, so no IPs and just the username and password, and the uploaders are smart enough to not have identifying things used in combination with MD, then it should make it harder for the publishers to duck everything up like now.

From the translator of The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom.
This is already the third group that is dropping out of MangaDex.
-
Unfortunate but completely understandable. Time to look for alternatives.

Why don't pirate sites just shut down entirely when they get out of the game? I remember when fuwanovel went straight (into the trash) and lost all relevancy.
-
Maybe they hope to pivot like Crunchyroll did.

"I heard there's an option to become the villain."

Just noticed that a lot of series I follow had entire groups deleting their own chapters.
