compromised would be a situation similar to what happened to kolektiva.social

Mastodon server Kolektiva.social was compromised when one of the server’s admins had their home raided by the FBI for unrelated charges. All of their electronics, including a backup of the instance database, were seized.

I think automatically doing it would be the worst of the three options:

continuing as is, removing it, or automating it.

I think it's up to you guys on what to do, since you're the ones who have to maintain it. But it seems like it's a hassle. Personally I appreciate it's there, but it's not like I share incriminating info about myself on here, so it's not like anything would happen if the site were to be compromised.
I guess my calls for death of various heads of state might be an issue, but other than that, eh.

Gotta imagine they're so inundated with adventurism and even pettier crimes that by time they come after posters it's because they're bored. At which point locking you up can have a justification as an afterthought. In other words, the content of your impotent, incredible posts don't matter because if they wanted to lock you up for your beliefs they'd just do it.
