I wouldn’t be surprised if every post/link shared from a threads instance has meta analytic tools and trackers built right into them.
That's not how ActivityPub works. You can't embed trackers or scripts into posts. You can't even do the basic trackers that emails have(loading a 1px image) since your instance pulls the image from the originating server and caches it.
