Yes they are. By following the #threads and #fedipact hashtags you will see them. There is a pattern with these things. Some of them have good arguments to consider but most of the are wackos and grossly unknowledgeable of how the #ActivityPub thing works.

ADHD win: I finally got around to updating the data for https://fedipact.veganism.social after putting it off for like 3 months.
Data was collected from roughly 43,000 instances, about half were offline and discarded.

threads is paying people to post with their "bonus program" and yes ofc it's scummy lmao
The Threads bonus is an invite-only bonus program that lets you earn money on your Threads content... Based on the performance [and] number of posts you create.
is this really the vibe we want them bringing to the fediverse???

Why Meta is looking to the fediverse as the future for social media
“You could imagine an extension to the protocol eventually — of saying like, ‘I want to support micropayments,’ or … like, ‘hey, feel free to show me ads, if that supports you.’ Kind of like a way for you to self-label or self-opt-in. That would be great,” Cottle noted, speaking casually. Whether or not Meta would find a way to get a cut of those micropayments, of course, remains to be seen.

One approach to interpreting the current dilemma and predicting outcomes is to acknowledge that the leadership of Mastodon is politically apathetic, which means that the project comprises an ideological vacuum at the heart of the fediverse. There's no need to infer malign intentions, only to understand that apathy in this historical moment will manifest as gullibility.
That vacuum is going to get filled - either by a cooperative value system which centers community, safety and consent, or by an exploitative agenda of extractive profiteering. All developments to date strongly suggest the latter will prevail. Those of us who object to that probability can no longer afford to "see what happens". We will have to (continue to) put positive effort into organizing and building our parallel possibility out of the churn of the ongoing disaster

Reminder: It’s not too late to either sign (or ask your server admin to sign) #fedipact.
If your instance won’t sign on, find a smaller instance that already has. There’s a list of a few hundred listed over on the fedipact site. 😉
We don’t need the “flagship” instances that will put up with the corporate colonization of this beautiful network that we’ve all built together.

Esta es la razón por la que el #fedipact es necesario, no federaremos con una instancia llena de fascistas y apologistas.

@voltrina @sun @jeffcliff why does that not surprise...make no mistake they would be collecting the data, just not showing it to their bots. because it would mess with their LLM (-i mean: "brain").
pretty sure its time to join #fedipact :)
