It does kind of undermine the idea of having a warrant canary if they don't update it on a timeframe though. Now people are going to ask Puttitout if they have received a warrant and he's either going to say they haven't, or he isn't going to be able to say anything at all, leading to speculation.

The warrant canary is one of those things that they said they would automate fucking ages ago and still haven't done it.

A warrant canary is not something you want to automate, that just makes it worthless. If it's automated, it could be updating while Atko and Putt are rotting in a jail cell for all the users know.

I remember a user heckled the admins initially for doing this. And so they changed to manually updating it.

Yeah that might have been Sanegoat I think doing the majority of the heckling, but I made a comment or two about it as well. Makes no sense to have an automated canary.

The internet does tend to point out stupidity when it sees it, if they're stupid themselves.

That is a good point.

Atko could be rotting in a jail cell right now for all the users know. Hasn't been active regularly for a very long time.

Well considering his last interaction with the community was him losing his cool and making up slander to fit their narrative for what's going on, I'd stake he's lying low in an effort to not further damage what people thought he was like.
