I've checked the fedipact signatories, but they all seem to be lemmy instances.

Yep, and if Threads is enforcing the same TOS as Instagram, there’s no way that Meta is going to open the doors to the fediverse in general. I expect that when Meta does enable federation, it will be with a small number of vetted servers that agree to follow their TOS as well.
I understand people’s concerns with Threads, and don’t want to touch it with a ten foot pole myself, but a lot of the reaction posts are sensationalized.

No, I don´t think that you really understand the concern. Specially if, as you say, Threads will slowly federate this and that server, poisoning the fediverse.

If Threads begins federating, the "ten foot pole" is going to touch you, like it or not.

Independently from what Meta wants, do you want to federate with them?
