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.

What deos the bloom filter match on? The spreaded activity contents as a whole?

Obviously the relay can still deduce kho you follow by just analyzing which activity didn’t get filtered.

It matches on followed accounts and followed hashtags. Think of it as compression, not encryption. The filter is built locally and sent before each sync, the relay never stores anything.

False positives make it unreliable to deduce who you follow. And you can always disable it if you prefer.
