Auto-block any instance that buys into this crap. Nip this shit in the bud.

@aral @pourrito Instances could use this to be funded. And users should be given an option to enable this as a opt-in. Then it would be fine! (Speaking as an instance admin)

@aral @pourrito @xvilo that's a completely outrageous proposal. If the instance is worth anything to it's users, they'll support it directly eg via patreon

@MightyPork @aral @pourrito not even when its opt-in?

@aral @pourrito @xvilo but who will willingly opt in to watch ads? Not to mention it would pollute the fediverse and the server would quickly get blocked by about everyone

@MightyPork @aral @pourrito nah, I dont Mind non-obtrusive ads. I do have an adblocker, en when I deem a site to be usefull its getting an exception. It's "cheaper" to just watch then pay an x amount per month
