This is worth noting. There are no private posts on here, and you should NOT send anything sensitive in DMs, they are not properly encrypted

PRIVACY: Bluesky is fundamentally an open and public network, and your posts are public data. But you can make them a *little* less public by flipping this switch under Settings > Moderation. It forces Bluesky app users to log in to view your posts (and you're less likely to show up in searches). 🧵

I hope they fix that real soon.

Yo! Hit YouTube shorts creator tbskyen??

Do you know about if this setting would affect posts being embedded? I'd hate to lose the functionality of images showing up in like discord when a post is linked.

Hey skyen, didn't expect to see you here

Correct! Though for anyone who's curious, Bluesky does plan to implement secure encrypted DMs. It's on the to-do list.

dont know what the tweet mean, but i see skyen i follow

Thank

I should add that, also, deleted posts aren't *truly* deleted. They are no longer parsed by Bluesky and thus won't show up, but they are still recorded in your PDS and can be viewed by tech savvy folks if your PDS resides somewhere public.
