#HolosSocial lets you run your own #ActivityPub server on your device. The goal is to let everyone using AP with a phone or a computer reach full independence, through custom domains and by hosting your media on your own cloud.
This is not a hack of AP (as I have read), everything stays within the spec. The project simply lets you be fully independent. You can reach full independence step by step. And #E2EE DMs already work through AP.

I kept on thinking about how #e2ee #email over #activitypub would look like only to realise that to solve the problem of server side MITM on TOFU, I needed a central way of looking up actors not tied to the server, and before I knew it I was reinventing #atproto(ik y'all don't like it, sorry, it's the only way identity TOFU won't have an MITM problem)

# orderedItems[].object.content
a thought popped up in my head:

why don't we just find a way to #xmpp our way in the #fediverse instead for #e2ee encryption?

i find it unnecessary to create another protocol, especially when there is already a federated option like that.

open for comments.

# orderedItems[].object.content
When I asked about #e2ee on #ActivityPub, I'd meant for social media posts, not for direct messages.

It sounds like that is a harder problem?

Can someone update me on the state / existence of #ActivityPub platforms with end-to-end encryption?

Does such platforms exist? If so, what are they, and do any of them natively use e2ee by default

The desktop interface of #HolosSocial will be quite simple and #E2EE already works great.

Centralized platforms will never be the solution for privacy and autonomy, it is crazy but all that multi-millions-dollar backed apps can't bring you as far in terms of autonomy, resilience and freedom as #ArcaneChat does

if you are not using #Android, you could instead use #DeltaChat or any other #chatmail client, they are all interoperable, see https://chatmail.at

Signal is developing a standalone desktop app without requiring a smartphone for setup or use, based on recent open-source code changes. 🖥️
The update adds more desktop controls while keeping end-to-end encryption, improving device independence with a privacy-first design. 🔐

With the political changes of
the coming years, we might need to rely more and more on tools that provide us the privacy and security we need to stay safe.

One of these tool that is and will likely become increasingly essential to our communities is Signal :signal: 💙

But @signalapp is a nonprofit organization
and, to survive, it will need our support. Especially with the continuing battle to protect end-to-end encryption ✊🔒

If you can afford it,
I highly encourage you to support Signal financially.

HOW TO ❓

1. From mobile: You can donate monthly and even get a cute donor badge in the app! On iOS, click on your name on the upper left, then "Settings", then "Donate to Signal" :awesome:

#E2EE is coming to the #Fediverse. Every effort will be made for #Fedilab to be among the first Android clients to support it. Not as a spectator but as an actor, thanks to the beta testers who make early iterations possible. Be ready.

ZOMG! #E2EE news on the Fediverse keeps getting better

The @HolosSocial team is planning to implement the same encryption standard as Mastodon, Bonfire, and Emissary.

When it lands, truly private messages should interoperate between all four platforms. This is an _absolute_win_ for open platforms and open APIs.

Holos will update its E2EE model to align with the shared spec, shipped well before 2027 and landing in the Fediverse first. Mastodon will likely make its own choices later on, and Holos will adapt again to stay compatible. No problem.

Have you seen this news?

#Mastodon just got funding to add end to end encryption into their software.

So, some time next year, you’ll be able to send truly private messages to the vast majority of the #Fediverse

Im so excited about this.

Because it’s an open spec, this opens the doors for every Fediverse app to join the party.

Yesterday, this project was a proof of concept. Today, Mastodon has turned it into a stampede.

#Holos started at the end of 2025. A full #ActivityPub server now runs on your phone, with the ability to use your own domain as your identity, #E2EE DMs via Signal Protocol, zero-knowledge encrypted backup, #ActivityPub media served from your own cloud, a tailored timeline based on your interests thanks to #HolosDiscover, and the ability to switch views depending on your mood or the content you want to browse. Thank you for your feedback and support that helped to go through these steps.

# orderedItems[].object.content
Taking on challenges like #E2EE direct messages or making your identity independent from any server was a priority for me. Not depending on any external API means all the cards are in our hands to respond to what people need, without compromise. Behind the scenes, the work between the app and the relay is tightly coupled. A lot of relay improvements, especially around Bloom filter performance, are not always reflected in changelogs.(3/4)

# orderedItems[].object.content
I'm deep into refactoring the #E2EE code today. My goal is to reconstruct all of the server side code.

So, it's back to #Bandwagon roulette for today's coding music. It's simple: go to search, pick a hashtag (#Ambient for me, please), then play the top album in the results. They shuffle every time you reload, so there's always something new.

I just published a video of the new "end to end encryption" protocol for ActivityPub in #Emissary. The UX is rougher than I'd like, but you can see the client app is coming along nicely.

Today, it sends and receives messages using MLS, a widely used industry standard and successor to the Signal protocol.

By June 2026, it should be ready for you.
