Can you make your case why that would be a problem?
@admin
Some, maybe many, hope for the decentralised model of the fediverse to “take back the internet”. Each time a commercial platform “enshitifies“, there are then calls for the fediverse to replace it with a federated alternative, in part to take advantage of the moment of user agitation.
But, IMO, resources and financial support are a touchy topic in the fediverse. If such has lead to a mismatch between ambition and opportunity, and, capability, that may be worth addressing.
I'd opt into targeted ads for a federated S-O service, personally. The site is a huge database and needs safe-keeping, and that's not free or even cheap. Tastefully placed ads that don't pop over or ruin the printed copy I'd totally go for.
