Do we have a Canary? And if not, should we have one?

submitted by PeckerwoodPerry to AskUpgoat 1.1 yearsMar 29, 2024 19:43:43 ago (+23/-1)     (AskUpgoat)

If you were on old voat you probably know what I'm talking about. If not, fuck you you're dead to me.

Anyway, shouldn't we have a Canary here?

I mean, it would probably be a good idea. Maybe some way to signal that they received orders or whatever.

I always assumed communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct was the canary and that ConPro’s canary was arete.network

I left there a couple months ago because a anti-white pos runs rampant there and a mod sided with him. They don't deserve people of our quality over there. fuck'em. boring ass shithole with boring ass retards. Its not as bad as poal, though

Talking ConPro or Aerate?

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 1 point 1.1 yearsMar 29, 2024 23:41:48 ago (+1/-0)

Conpro.

Someone is dead to you if they don’t know about a reddit clone that was made specifically to have free speech?

It's a fuckin joke, bro. Don't take shit so seriously, it'll give you heartburn.

Then an ulcer, and probably non-genetic baldness, which is almost as bad.

Richard Gere had a hamster instead of a canary

It would be good, but if it's already compromised would it work?

And I kept going even after so...

No, they're a waste of time.

Largely. Plus the entire point of one is to say we haven't been contacted without discussing it. So what if you get contacted and your users demand there be a canary on the site. If you yield to them you are just lying. And you can't discuss it with them because you are sealed from discussing it.

So that's basically not how canaries work. You don't demand a canary. That wouldn't be a canary. What would be a canary is if the site owner just happened to feel like putting a picture of a bird somewhere on the site without discussing why and you didn't ask questions about it. That's how canaries are supposed to work.

Thedonald canary was triggered and no one gave a shit. They serve a purpose but people suck

They are worthless. If you think you are safe because the site owner will protect you from Big Bro, and pinky swear to tell you about it if he becomes compromised, then you are a fool. Just assume the three letter agencies have full transparency into the server and act accordingly.

Right. The warrant is there for parallel reconstruction. They already have the info.

the idea of a canary is only good if you 100% trust who is in charge of the canary. otherwise, it is useless.

Like voat.co was never a honeypot to begin with. They will be coming for your keyboards.

Canaries are pointless and you should assume the Feds have you personal data.

The most important thing is that you should never fear that the Feds have your data.

The moment you are afraid to do/say something because you 'might get in trouble' is the moment they have complete power over you.

They follow me - I even know the nickname that they refer to me as! It’s a shit nickname, though - considering (((Marvel Universe))) is gay kikenigger garbage…

I heard it was Ms Marvel.

I’m not that familiar with the kikery that is Marvel, but you gave it your best judaised guess.

Agreed. Same thing with this faggot-assed doxing fear.

Yes, they rule via fear.

How do I set one up?

As of 03-29-2024 this website has not received any requests for user data from any law enforcement agency or any other government agency.

Would that statement on a page work?

[ - ] PeckerwoodPerry [op] 4 points 1.1 yearsMar 29, 2024 22:05:56 ago (+5/-1)

I guess it could be a sticky post on it's own sub that stays up until it doesn't.

The more I think about it, the sillier it becomes. It's not like any agency needs your permission to crawl the site for wrong think. It would be transparent to know if you've been actually contacted by cunts though.

[ - ] bobdole9 3 points 1.1 yearsMar 29, 2024 23:06:01 ago (+3/-0)

I asked system before to let us know if FEDs start asking questions.

Hopefully a subject of "CANARY DIED" gives everyone the heads-up necessary.

[ - ] TheYiddler 2 points 1.1 yearsMar 30, 2024 07:25:12 ago (+2/-0)

Sometimes these requests come with an order not to talk about it. So the canary is the way to get around that. The canary dies when the canary statement is removed or is not updated on schedule.

this can be as complicated or subtle as you want. Like give all users a yellow bird trophy, if you ever get a request, change the color to something else or just remove it.

[ - ] ItsOk2bArian 0 points 1.1 yearsMar 30, 2024 13:46:53 ago (+0/-0)

The point of a canary is the Feds can't compell you to post anything. They can only stop you from posting. If the canary don't sing, site ownership and control has been compromised because you have either been silenced or you refuse to post.
This of course only works so long as you truly refuse to cooperate with the black suits threatening everything you love and hold dear.

I remember when Voat.co’s canary died. It wasn’t too long after the site went down on Christmas Day. Putt picked a terrible day

[ - ] drstrangergov 1 point 1.1 yearsMar 29, 2024 21:34:34 ago (+1/-0)

Good point. Maybe we all can be each others canaries. Its Friday night. Im still here and fed-free. No gunshots. No explosions. Powers on. Just watching the slow steady decline of western civilization while downlookers keep their eyes fixed to their screens to avoid seeing it. But I'm good. How are you?

[ - ] ButtToucha9000 1 point 1.1 yearsMar 30, 2024 00:01:53 ago (+1/-0)

Just put a big ass bird in the header with a Deadman switch. If you don't sign in to it within a period of time then the bird dies. Ezpz.

[ - ] taoV 4 points 1.1 yearsMar 30, 2024 00:12:24 ago (+4/-0)

It didn't do anything for Voat, and it won't do anything here. Reminding people of the stark reality that (((they))) have all the digital info they want would do more to protect users.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. Post a monthly security reminder, with evidence, that the clearweb isn't secure, and any wrongthinker should behave as though they have a target on their back.

You should just assume the government is already involved. Don't be afraid, Be a Man.

Ultimately, a warrant canary will only tell us that someone who posted here actually went and did something in the real world. I'd say there's not much chance of that happening here.

The canary on Voat went tits up just like secretlypsycho and her misguided scholastic pursuits. Nothing really happened as far as the userbase was concerned near as I could tell.

[ - ] RMGoetbbels 1 point 1.1 yearsMar 30, 2024 10:00:18 ago (+1/-0)

Yes and no. What we need to do is just realize that system and upgoat are compromised and not post things that will draw attention.
