OT, but what do you mean "Sign-in Required" when trying to read the post on bluesky, weren't they supposed to be better than twitter?
Huh. I guess that's a feature Bluesky offers. TIL.
It was just added recently, like within a week or so. At least it's the users choice unlike Twitter.
Correct, I noticed the feature recently too. I'd imagine it's anti-spam (or at least anti-lurk?) but it's not like you can comment without an account.
I don't see a good enough reason to toggle that unless you're expecting a non-user to leak it to another platform to make fun of you (e.g. Lemmy) and obviously we're proof enough that it isn't much of a deterrent, lol.
So the enshittification begins... I can't think of a single valid reason for wanting only account-havers to view your post.
This is a way to slightly make a block work better to keep away from stalkers. Yes, a stalker can create another account. But it does add an additional small speed bump.
