Possibly a controversial opinion but I think we should have ads on Lemmy

Server costs for large instances are a thing, and I think it’s a good idea to have an incentive for people to keep hosting them

Can leave it up to each instance how they want to monetise. A lot of instances have donations setup already, could get a “premium” account to help the upkeep of the instance you’re on and get rid of the ads

Also if people really hate them adblock exists

I’d really prefer that to be a last resort. Instead, maybe there should be donation drives like Wikipedia and rewards like Reddit.

I never once bought Reddit coins to hand out, but might be convinced to if I can trust where the funds go.
