Holos SocialMar 3

In the next release of #Holos, Bloom filters will be enabled by default (can be disabled). This allows the relay to deliver only activities that matter to you, without ever knowing who you follow. In practice, this reduces data transfer around 97%, since only about 3% of activities are typically relevant during a sync.
The public timeline is replaced by a discover timeline tailored to your interests.

You mention tags, but not individuals... I am assuming that if you follow someone their content will be passed through by the bloom filter even if it is not the kind of content you usually look at?

A Bloom filter can only produce false positives, never false negatives. So content from people you follow will always come through, no matter what. Your Home and notifications will never miss a message.
At worst, the filter lets in a bit of extra noise, but the local server handles the final filtering.
