    No, it will never have ads. If the devs put ads in, it will get forked. If server admins put in ads, they will be defederated. That’s nonnegotiable if you want a free (as in libre) fediverse.

    Mastodon is way bigger than Lemmy and it doesn’t need ads. Donations and subscriptions (for severs that choose that path) are enough.

      I don’t want it to have ads either but bandwidth is not free and someone somewhere is paying for it.

      Is the donations don’t cover the bills there are few options.
