I am not fine with that. This should be community driven and not ad driven.
Server space or electricity wise, running an instance will never be free, and it will be more and more expensive as more and more successful Lemmy becomes.
Donations and such will only get Lemmy so far.
Most instance admins aren't here for profit. I'm hosting mine on dedicated hardware I already pay for, so it's zero added cost, even if I have to scale up a good bit. And if my instance grows too much for its bare metal server, I'll port it to a Helm chart and migrate to my production k8s cluster. Anything to avoid ads!
