This Tweet from a year ago still is too relevant today: [WaybackSave/Archive] hayden on X: “there’s too many people with “AI/ML” in their bio asking what this image is.”
[Wayback/Archive] hayden on X: “this is who you’re arguing with online “

Bluesky Firehose Explained: Real-Time Data Streaming with Jetstream & ATProtocol | Skyscraper
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/09/01
Discourage apps from showing my account to logged-out users Bluesky will not show your profile and posts to logged-out users. Other apps may not honor this request. This does not make your account private. Note: Bluesky is an open and public network. This setting only limits the visibility of your content on the Bluesky app and website, and other apps may not respect this setting. Your content may still be shown to logged-out users by other apps and websites.
Basically the “posts only visible only to people who are signed in.” is a suggestion to the BlueSky UI front-end, not to the protocols in the back-end that handle your data. Those protocols is what’s described in the above Firehose link.
It means that the new Attie AI scraper always has access to everything you published as it has access to the above Firehose and the BSKY APIs. Anything/anyone with access to that Firehose or the BKSY APIs can access all your data.
The whole “Logged-out Visibility” is just a suggestion, the actual underlying protocols and their access are very much not explained in this visibility post:

Logged-out Visibility
Bluesky is a public network, but sometimes, added friction matters. If you don’t want Bluesky to show your content to logged-out users, opt out in the Moderation screen.
On the right I emphasised the privacy consequence in italic.
The Firehose and it’s risks aren’t at all covered in posts like [Wayback/Archive] Why I’m betting on ATProto (and why you should, too).
This is to different from the Fediverse of which Mastodon is the most well known social network, as described by [Wayback/Archive] Mastodon Migration: “How About Some AI With Your BlueSky…” – Mastodon

bluesky-social/social-app: The Bluesky Social application for Web, iOS, and Android
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/21
Took me a while to notice this is open source: [Wayback/Archive] bluesky-social/social-app: The Bluesky Social application for Web, iOS, and Android
Via [Wayback/Archive] Gergely Orosz on Twitter: “Wow. The other Blue site open sourced their app (The protocol is already open sourced) Unlike Twitter’s recommendation algorithm that is a fork (and not the real thing), both these are the prod thing. This developing in the open is new, and encouraging! “

GitHub – breakzplatform/downloader.notx.blue
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/14
Interesting, as this seems to handle all actions client-side: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – breakzplatform/downloader.notx.blue
Hosting is at two sites:
The code is a tiny HTML wrapper around about 1000 lines of JavaScript (plus a few hundred lines of minified [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm: FFmpeg for browser, powered by WebAssembly JavaScript code). Impressive!

Auteur Jean Marc van Tol van Fokke en Sukke stopt op BSKY: …. (@jmvtol.bsky.social) — Bluesky
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/31
Meer info: [Wayback/Archive] …. (@jmvtol.bsky.social) — Bluesky
Het bericht over de aanvaring tussen Jean Marc van Tol en het BSKY moderatie-team – hij kwam op de blacklist vanwege een bericht waarvan het op zijn minst discutabel is of hij daarvoor 4 strafpunten hoort te krijgen met daardoor automatisch een 3-daagse ban – stop hij op dat medium.
Kennelijk mag je daar niet uiten dat je blij zou zijn wanneer Trump hemelt: dat wordt geschaard onder dood wensen¹.
Het Fokke en Sukke account is er inmiddels leeg: [Wayback/Archive] Fokke & Sukke (@fokkesukke.bsky.social) — Bluesky
Maar zowel Jean Marc als Fokke en Sukke blijven actief op onder andere Mastodon, zie de linkjes in [Wayback/Archive] Post by @wiert.bsky.social — Bluesky:
