On the free speech and shitposting Fediverse instances, they get around this by screenshotting posts from blocked instances. I believe there are also some implementations that can bypass fetching authorization and fetch public content from instances that have blocked them. If something is posted publicly on the internet, it can be distributed further, so I don't see why they should use this halfway solution that fragments the network without actually increasing the instance's security (e.g. make the instance private and verify signups).
