Bluesky users sharing their profile links need to understand their profiles can’t be viewed by anyone without logging in.
Effectively, they’re promoting nothing.
Any social network that, by design, requires outsiders to sign up and log in to view profiles, isn’t quite appealing.
People often want to check out what’s going on before they commit to signing up on a platform. They want to know what kind of users the community has, and what kind of content they post.
It gives one an idea of whether they might be a good fit, or if the effort is worth the trouble.
