"Galaxies" a trustworthy open access peer reviewed journal?

In summary, there is a publisher called MDPI that was previously included on a list of predatory open access publishing companies, but was later removed. There is a paper published in this publisher on the Sagnac effect in the context of relativity. It is uncertain if this publisher can be trusted as much as other peer-reviewed publications. The publisher has faced criticism and suspicion regarding their practices towards scientists.

Thanks. Is that necessarily an indictment on studies published there or on the way the publisher goes about taking advantage of scientists? Either way, it’s enough to make me go running away.
