Huh, I see the post plus a big “log in” bar at the bottom on Safari 15612.1.29.41.4 (Mac), and the same without the bar in an incognito tab Chrome 94.0.4606.71 (Mac). These don’t overlap with any of the things you tried, but it’s strange to me that our results are consistently different.
Yes, sorry, I got too excited about the absurd hypothesis supported by two datapoints, posted too soon, then tried to reproduce, and it no longer worked at all. I had the time to see the page in firefox incognito window on the same system where I’m logged in and in a normal firefox window from a different Linux username that never had facebook logged in.
Edit: Just now it worked again twice, and after that it no longer did. Bottom line: Public facebook posts are not really public, at least today, they are only public intermittently.

Firefox 78.5.0esr (Mac); Opera 80.0.4170.63 (Mac).
EDIT: Tested also with Firefox 94.0.1 (Windows) and Chrome 95.0.4638.69 (Windows), with identical results.
Your posts are not accessible without a Facebook account.

I can no longer see it when not logged in, even though I did before. Maybe we triggered a DDoS mitigation thingie?
Edit: Removed incorrect claim about how this worked (before seeing Said’s response).
No, this is not correct. All of my tests were conducted on a desktop (1080p) display, at maximum window width.
