I’ll start:
- Some significant portion of funds go towards development of the Lemmy software. 80%? Rest goes to lemmy instance hosting.
- Ads are reasonable and non-intrusive (no popups etc)
- People can still browse w/ an adblocker
I personally would gladly turn off my adblocker if I knew the ads were supporting development. Hell, I might even click a few!
Same, but sometimes it’s not possible due to the different payment methods that don’t work the same accross different countries.
It’s unlikely ads would bring in any significant amount of money from them se people, in that case.
