Mastodon.social admin and lead mastodon dev Eugen Rochko signed an NDA with Facebook and has since been in support of Threads' embrace of the Fediverse and asked people to give Facebook a chance. We won't know if he's made some deal (monetary or otherwise) with Facebook due to aformentioned NDA.

Many instances of the fediverse are anti-Threads despite his shilling though.

Shit! That's sucks. Out of curiosity , can fb ever own fediverse?

No, but they can poison it. Luckily, it is possible to block their servers.
