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.
I trust you know how activity pub works much better than I, but I’m a superstitious fellow when it comes to meta & their endless appetite for data that doesn’t belong to them.
If Meta starts throwing their weight around the W3C to approve changes to ActivityPub that will benefit them, they can very well try to implement tracking.
I wouldn’t be surprised if every post/link shared from a threads instance has meta analytic tools and trackers built right into them.
