Yeah, we still can. If I type beehaw directly in my search engine I can view all their posts and stuff, just anonymously and unable to comment or interact.
What I mean by search engine is literally just Google, I don’t mean my sh.it search function. If you’re not accessing Beehaw through one of the defederated instances then it won’t know you’re from a defederated instance, no?
Correct, but you can’t reply or vote there without an account on beehaw or another instance that they do federate with. That’s what they are concerned about. They are saying they are concerned about just anybody making posts or comments on beehaw because of open user registrations on lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
Your describing the limited mode that mastodon allows and Lemmy does not. Its effectively the biggest moderation tool Beehaw is saying they wish they saw in Lemmy. Some users in this thread are saying that’s Beehaw being selfish. The posts you are currently seeing are outdated ones

Yeah that’s why in my initial comment I said “just anonymously but unable to comment or interact”.
