No fight from my side, I think it mostly comes from a misunderstanding. I never claimed Holos brings new things like FEPs to the Fediverse. I leave that to the experts and have no pretension about it. But some messages were quite reductive about what Holos actually offers, so I just wanted to set the record straight.

Any ActivityPub server holds user identities and can technically do harmful things, including yours. With custom domains, the user owns the identity. With E2EE, DMs are unreadable by the relay. With zero-knowledge sync, the relay does not know what the device already has. With encrypted backups, data is recoverable without it. I am not inventing new protocols, I am using every possibility that already exists. What's wrong with that?

Thank you! I'll look into this. I tested with a Mastodon CSV export and both text/csv and text/comma-separated-values MIME types work on my end. Could you let me know which device and OS version you're using? That would help me debug it.

To sum up, Holos is not waiting for the ecosystem to agree on new standards. It exploits what is already possible within ActivityPub today.

The relay is a tunnel, not a middleman. It cannot read or alter the content. And with E2EE DMs, even direct messages are only readable on the device.

The relay server has been successfully migrated to the new server. There may be a short delay while DNS propagates. Everything should be running normally.

Maintenance ongoing on holos.social. Server migration, the service will be unavailable for a few hours. I'll let you know when it's back.

The relay provides a stable identity and makes the device reachable through a tunnel.
The location of keys is not irrelevant. With custom domains, the user controls the domain and the identity. Relays become interchangeable, no Move activity needed. This is an architecture choice, not marketing.
