That sounds strange. What browser are you using?  fedoraproject.org as well as discussion.fedoraproject.org use fairly w3c compliant technology.

I can even „use“ the site with a non-graphical text browser, e.g.
lynx discussion.fedoraproject.org

They don’t ‚control‘ you. They just check, if your browser it technically capable to render the site content. If not, they provide a „minimal view“, check e.g. lynx.
