Concerning #HolosSocial, I still believe it's an interesting project because it brought something new to the #Fediverse.
Not only because you run your #ActivityPub server on your device, but mainly because you can own your identity with your own domain name.
My mistake was making it easy to run the server on your device, but not to get your own identity.
That will be my challenge in the coming months.
PS: I have no funding for this project and I work alone, so yes, it takes time :)

It requires some knowledge of DNS. Otherwise, your identity depends on the relay you use. The idea would be to add support for LOLA, so you could move your account to any server that supports it, not only Holos relays. It would go further than the current independence, in a simple way.
Beyond requiring knowledge of DNS, it requires that you have control of a domain name and think of one as their identity - a far less democratic idea than what geeks think. Just look at everyone who could change their bsky.social nick into a sovereign name, have all the resources and help available to do it, yet do not.

@apps Out of curiosity: what makes it difficult to get your own identity, with the app as-is? I assume it's something technical...
