Bluesky is going to let people opt out of letting logged out users see their posts.

The decentralized social network announced in November that it would finally be adding a public web view, but as TechCrunch reports, some users asked for a way to make their posts private.

Note that this upcoming change does not mean Bluesky will have private accounts; Bluesky is only giving users a way to keep posts private from users that aren’t logged in.

“Remember, your posts, profile, and likes are all public data,” Bluesky wrote. “But sometimes, added friction matters.”
