Posts on the short post SNS 'Bluesky' can now be viewed even when not logged in & the logo will also be changed

The official web app of the SNS '

Bluesky ', which can be used with a similar operation to X (formerly Twitter), allows users to view posts even when they are not logged in. This makes it easier to share posts with people who don't have a Bluesky account.

Bluesky is an SNS developed based on the decentralized SNS protocol ' AT Protocol '. Bluesky's official web app does not support viewing posts when you are not logged in, and when you are not logged in, even if you click 'URL to access each account's profile' or 'URL to access each post', the following will be displayed. I couldn't check my posts because a screen asking me to create an account or log in was displayed. However, until now it has been possible to view posts even when not logged in by using the API.

Bluesky has announced that it now supports viewing posts without logging in on its official web app. If you actually access '

GIGAZINE's Bluesky account profile page ' without logging in, the self-introduction column and posted content will be displayed as shown below. In addition, on the left side of the screen there is a 'Sign up' button that allows you to create an account and a 'Sign in' button that allows you to log in to your account.

If you don't want your posts to be viewed by non-logged-in users, click 'Moderation' on the left side of the screen and set 'Prevent apps from showing your account to logged-out users.' If enabled, you can restrict the viewing of posts by users who are not logged in. However, this setting can only restrict the viewing of posts using the official web app, and cannot prevent the viewing of posts using the API.

In addition, Bluesky has also announced a new logo imitating the shape of a butterfly. Bluesky explains why he chose the butterfly motif: ``Butterflies are a symbol of change and transformation, and they speak to our mission to transform social media into something new.''
