Bluesky posts are finally open to the public::Bluesky remains an invite-only decentralized Twitter alternative, but now, you don’t need to be logged in to be able to see posts on the platform. The app has a new logo, too.

Yeah but note by "public" they really mean "if the post doesn't require you to login". They recently implemented a feature that lets users choose for their posts to be "public" but still require a login to see it.

The API is pretty much fully open, look up the firehose api for bluesky. This change just allows easy linking

I hope Mastodon implements a feature like that. That and account locking a la Twitter, or at least the ability to update a post's visibility after creation.)

(Inb4 "but federation" etc: it's better than nothing.)
