You nailed it with the canary thing. I remember seeing that and, ever since it wasn't updated, my anxiety has only gotten worse. Because you're right, for all we know, the site's being run completely out of a NSA data-center by now. That's the whole point of having a canary to begin with: if it dies, GTFO. There'd be no other (legal) way for Putt to bring this information to our attention. For all we know: the real Justin has moved on to working a normal 9-5, has completely disassociated himself from voat, and laments that more people haven't noticed or care; maybe he stopped caring altogether and voat is just a distant memory to him. Just him and Atif playing golf on weekends, reminiscing about that one time they did a good thing. I think I'd prefer that version of events to be true more than any of the others.
