I’ll start:

  • Some significant portion of funds go towards development of the Lemmy software. 80%? Rest goes to lemmy instance hosting.
  • Ads are reasonable and non-intrusive (no popups etc)
  • People can still browse w/ an adblocker

I personally would gladly turn off my adblocker if I knew the ads were supporting development. Hell, I might even click a few!

    There are no circumstances under which I would be okay with it. Including ads means there is a chance that content is removed to appease advertisers.

    I will happily donate to my instance once they start accepting donations.
