Meta (Instagram) is building their Twitter competitor called "Threads". It's based on ActivityPub.
Why wouldn't they be talking to fedi-admins?

Makes sense to collect feedback and talk about possible issues with people who have been doing this for a long time.

I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised by any of this. Or why this should be controversial.
I bloody well hope people got paid for their consultation. I hope they got paid well.
Anything else would be a scandal.
