@darius @jasonbrooks This is kind of where I'm at. If users are willing to join a server that will show ads to the users of the server as a way to support itself financially, the only person looking at ads are the members of that instance.

However, if the server then has to do some kind of tracking in order to dial in ads, or uses the data from the fediverse to run analytics that inform ad spend, that's where the community may have something to say.

@dansup if you don't already use Linux, try @fedora for a stock Gnome experience ;)

@dansup It's easy for the folks who are happy with you to stay quiet and content while those who are angry at you to voice their complaints.

I think you are doing a great job and have had tremendous impact on the social internet for the better. Don't know the reason for the break, but you do you. Want you to hear affirmation. ♥️
