Technically, Threads uses ActivityPub and is federated with other Mastodon instances (and technically the rest of the fediverse that haven't federated from Meta). https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/ https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-thr... I suppose the ads are mostly displayed through the Threads app and web server? Otherwise I don't see the Fediverse taking it kindly with being polluted with ads from Meta.

It looks like ads generally are posts from business accounts that then get a sponsored badge and some promotion among feeds. From a fediverse perspective, you won't see them unless you follow the pizza hut threads feed (to use a random example.)
