- Comment on Apparently Bluesky lets you require a sign in to view a post 5 weeks ago:
Bluesky was started by the same guy who started Twitter, and is only federated in concept.
He didn’t really start Bluesky; he started the exploring the Bluesky protocol as a research initiative while at Twitter to try and explore how to make Twitter decentralized. Jay Graber was hired as the CEO and incorporated it as an independent company.

This was added when they opened up to the public as a compromise to users. You can set it per account in privacy proof settings (I personally do it so anti trans people can’t scrape my posts)

Do you mean cancel the subscription before it’s up? You should be able to do it in the Windows Apple Music or Apple TV apps under your account settings (it’s listed under subscriptions); I just did it the other month.
