@evan define `unauthenticated`

@evan besides what appears to be smart arse comments (apologies if wrong.) I say no, due to privacy.
If something is completely public then it's okay the user has chosen to make it public but if anything is not public it should require at the very least an account to view if it is semi-public (only users of the platform can view)
Ideally it would be something the user controls.

For example, you point your browser at a.example. You are not logged in.
You navigate to a list of a local user's followers at a.example/user1/followers .
If you click on a profile in that list, it loads a.example/remote/user2@b.example , a profile page for a remote user.
If you click on an image posted by that remote user, it loads a.example/remote/b.example/image/33 , showing the remote image and all comments on it.
If this is not an interesting question to you, feel free to skip it!
Thanks to everyone who replied! I am a "yes, but...".
Yes, but you should clearly identify it as remote content or a remote profile.
People on here freak out sometimes when they see remote profiles or remote content on a Fediverse-enabled server. They say it has "shadow profiles" or "scraped content."
Clearly identifying that it comes from the Fediverse can help with this a lot.

@ajlewis2 thank you, Anita. Yes, the patient was amazed and it was pure poetry. Science and human touch at their best.
