I failed to ever see the appeal of "like twitter but not (yet) run by a nazi" and this just confirms this for me :|

  the potential future of the AT protocol is the main idea i thought made it differentiate itself... also twitter locking users out if they don't have an account, and bluesky not doing so... but i guess thats no longer true? I just don't understand that choice for either platform, is the intent not, biggest reach possible? locking potential viewers out is such a direct contradiction of that. edit: seems its user choice to force login to view a post, which changes my mind significantly on if its a bad platform decision.

    Bluesky is not locking anyone out. This is literally a user setting to not display their account without logging in. It's off by default. And yes, you can still inspect the post itself over the AT protocol: https://pdsls.dev/at://robpike.io/app.bsky.feed.post/3matwg6w3ic2s https://pdsls.dev/at://robpike.io/app.bsky.feed.post/3matwg6...

    X went back on that quite some time ago. Have a bird post: https://x.com/GuGi263/status/2002306730609287628 https://x.com/GuGi263/status/2002306730609287628 (You won't be able to read replies, or browse to the user's post feed, but you can at least see individual tweets. I still wrap links with s/x/fxtwitter/ though since it tends to be a better preview in e.g. discord.) For bluesky, it seems to be a user choice thing, and a step between full-public and only-followers.

    It's a setting on BlueSky, that the user can enable for their own account, and for people of prominence who don't feel like dealing with drive by trolls all day, I think it's very reasonable. One is a money grab, and the other is giving power to the user.

  You failed to see the appeal of a social network not run by a nazi...?

    Yet :) I'll (genuinely happily) change my opinion on this when it's possible to do twitter-like microblogging via ATproto without needing any infra from bluesky tye company. I hear there are independent implementations being built, so hopefully that will be soon.

Here is the raw post on the AT Protocol: https://pdsls.dev/at://robpike.io/app.bsky.feed.post/3matwg6w3ic2s https://pdsls.dev/at://robpike.io/app.bsky.feed.post/3matwg6... The Bluesky app respects Rob's setting (which is off by default) to not show his posts to logged out users, but fundamentally the protocol is for public data, so you can access it.

I understand Twitter posts are still shared here, even though I would often (usually?) have to log in?
