People have brought this up a few times now, and at this point I'm starting to wonder if it's just... accurate as written.
FWIW though this site has barely any data other than what you give it so even if the site did get one compliance doesn't mean much unless your opsec is terrible
Yeah, I know the admins are just kind of keeping the site running, but having a canary that misleading and that out of date feels like there's a billboard saying "this site regularly complies with government requests", and everyone keeps saying "it's fine, someone must have forgotten to take that down".
Like, probably? I hope? But, why do we even have that thing?
People have put a lot of volunteer hours in and many are burned out, that's all. I'm starting to take up some of the work now, but we'll see how many "spoons" I have for it. In terms of plans for the site, the consensus is that the vibe here right now is pretty good and we mostly want to keep this going + organic growth. We'd like to federate with lemmy, but that will require a not insignificant technical lift, so it will depend a bit on whether I and other comrades are up to it.
Inaccurate. Current warrant canary can be found here:

It was updated less than six months ago and there have been no warrants
Note: The original version of this statement can be found in the Hexbear Privacy Policy. It contains a date error on it from when the site's name changed, which we have corrected. We've switched to hosting this statement on our git's wiki so that it can be updated more easily without having to push code to production.
I can definitely understand that. It would probably be better if there was a link on the site's canary with the same note and the link to the page
A lot of stuff hasn’t been updated in a while, I still see ChapoChat branding in a lot of comm infoboxes
