How could any non sede say its a Holy Day of Obligation if the diocese says it isn't?
With all due respect sir,
sede argument is irrelevant. The Ordinary has jurisdiction. Like it or not, the diocese is his to command, not the Roman pontiff, not any council of bishops, and certainly not any calendar.

I don’t know about eddy stone.  But the Feast of the Ascension has been moved to Sunday.  It is Holy Day of Obligation.

My sspx no longer says ascension Thursday is a HDOO either.  Nor do they say when traditional fast days are (ember days, lent etc), nor do they say you must receive communion once during the easter season, nor do they say you must fast for at least 3 hours before taking communion.  They did all of these only 4 years ago, now they just forget tradition.  

The sspx really isn't a traditional catholic organization anymore, they are a latin mass organization that accepts all the Novus ordo teachings.  The only difference between the new SSPX and the FSSP or ICKSP is the sacraments are certain (unless you have a former Novus ordo priest at your church).

Ascension Thursday is a Holy Day of Obligation in the entirety of the following States: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska.  And 3 days before are Rogation days.

If you don’t believe the Conciliar hierarchy is the hierarchy of the Catholic Church (I.e. the Conciliar popes were not true Catholic popes) or even if you believe like Archbishop Lefebvre that it is possible that we may have to believe that these popes were not true popes then you are obligated under pain of mortal sin to observe Ascension Thursday as a holy day of obligation.

If on the other hand you have certainty that the Conciliar popes are true popes then not only do you not have to observe Ascension Thursday but you also don’t have to fast nor abstain from meat.  And since everyone in the Conciliar Church goes to “heaven” you don’t have to keep the commandments either.  You are free to do whatever you want.  Most “Catholics” prefer it that way.
