Under what conditions would you be OK with ads on your lemmy instance?

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!

Fuck ads, don't normalize this. I left Reddit because of enshittification, and putting ads on lemmy is just another first step towards that inevitable end. I'll just spin my own instance back up. I had one running but I took it down to avoid the influx of CSAM on some instances.
