Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think bluesky posts have always been private, at least while they are in invite-only mode. Here's what the linked skeet says: > Our systems are currently experiencing some degraded performance as a result of record-high traffic. You may notice some slowness in-app as a result. Our team is working to resolve this issue. > You can view our system performance status here: status.bsky.app

Posts are not private according to the FAQ: https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/5-19-2023-user-faq

Sorry, you're right, private is the wrong word. I instead mean that the public web UI does not display them if you are not logged in.

What's funny is that while Twitter wants you to log in and goes at great length to prevent you from reading anything when not logged in, the situation is exactly the other way round with Bluesky. They limit who can sign in, but openly publish all data via their API. So one could use an AT protocol client to read, or a web based client like this one: https://firesky.tv/ I just made an account, let's see how this thing…

All market penetrators do this, bait and switch. Some people never learn. The answer is (truly) open protocols.

Sorry, is there an actual article with a real URL somewhere? Because this just goes to a lock screen going "create an account", so either everyone who upvoted this has a bluesky account, or the post got locked down and it's no longer information. It's just a gate.
