@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.
