Under what conditions would you be OK with ads on your lemmy instance? (lemmy.ml)

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!

Never, i would leave my instance immediately. Thankfully i dont believe this will ever happen. If admins need funds community members will donate. Through mutual cooperation we can keep these spaces free of the commercial bullshit that has infested every other faet of our lives.
