One thing BlueSky has done right - is to make that bridge to activitypub, that way you can follow others there and interact, without having a account there.
That feature alone is very nice, for those of us who want to connect with other's there, without having an account there. So I say Bravo bluesky!

@stigatle is that bridge made by Bluesky? Something tells me it isn’t.

Ah, that's a valid point.
It honestly did not cross my mind that it was made by others.
So credit goes to them :) (and also to bluesky that they 'allow' it.).
