Some instances may choose to run ads but users will likely just flee to other instances then - as they should.

Or just use an ad blocker (as one should be doing anyway)

I think the most realistic option for an instance would be to have toggleable ads (off by default). And if you turn it on, maybe you get a supporter badge on your profile page.

People would just turn it on and use an ad blocker to get the badge.

There are a ton of ways to detect ad blockers. They could detect an adblocker, but instead of requesting they turn it off like most websites, just take away the badge.
