@jeffjarvis @malwaretech can anyone explain why an instance owner couldn't start showing ads?

@Frischa @jeffjarvis @malwaretech Good question. The way I see it, the instance hosting ads - assuming they find a reliable customer* - would quickly be blocked by other instances and become de-federated as described in the OP's article.

*I haven't seen any major corporations signing up for tusk site accounts. My local library has one, though, and that is fine with me. 😎
