> Even Bluesky has this problem! Bluesky is totally accessible for me without an account. What do you see ?

  Plenty of people restrict their account to require that you too have an account to see their posts. A link to Bluesky often feels like roulette on whether I can see a post or not. It isn’t as egregious as other sites but it’s still restrictive.

    I don't understand why they have this option. Why would anyone toggle this on?

      Maybe to minimize bots scraping your info.

        If bluesky ever becomes popular boots will just scrape the firehose directly.

          I mean it's 3x the size of HN by monthly active users
