They could get even more info by federating than by scraping. However, there’s nothing to stop them from spinning up a server that they don’t publicly talk about and using that to get that same info.

My assumption is that each user would be an Object in ActivityPub and then you would follow that user (subscribe in Lemmy terms). If that’s the case, then that user would appear to be a community in your feed.
I’d like to see how Threads evolves before preemptively deciding to cease interacting with it. However, if it’s anything like Facebook or Instagram today then please keep it away from me
A couple executive-types gathered the more senior developers for an “open” discussion about recruitment and retention. They suggest multiple ideas that would destroy morale (like non-compete clauses, poorly designed work-role pipelines, etc), and all of us suggest against them, and provided alternatives instead (like a shift in direction of certain efforts, more autonomy and less micromanaging, etc). They end up accusing us of not supporting our company’s mission and tell us that if we don’t agree then they don’t want us there and we should just quit. I think after that meeting, only 2 people stayed out of about 30, and hiring numbers have significantly declined.
Well API access gives them more detailed information about people’s actions (such as their upvotes and downvotes) than merely scraping does. From an advertising perspective that’s quite valuable
