It would be better if the protocol had the capability for stuff like access controls where you could require that external users request permission to join your local communities and to be able to post there (where the moderation queues would show such requests per server). That way you could maintain visibility and protocol compatibility and make it easy to link between discussions, while maintaining quality of communities.
It's not new though. There's endless email lists with open archives and admin controlled posting permissions. That's also a federated platform. But in that environment is what people expect, part of the tradition, and people know there's going to be various rules when they post to a bunch of mailing lists, versus here where expectations and tools are wildly different.
