Hmm. So how about: “Tired of ads? Reddit wants to show them to you. Come to Lemmy, we are friendly and you are welcome!” I am willing to commit 100 euro if anyone can make that happen.
Choice. If an instance starts adding in ads, people will move to another instance. If they find a way to be invasive enough to be seen by users in other instances, they would probably be defederated.

The choice is the thing, I think. It’s what made the whole Reddit thing a bit bizarre for me. Like they could’ve just passed the ads through the API and used personal API keys in 3rd party apps. Those content to take the ads take them and those who prefer to pay a fee can do so.
“We need to pay for this shit, it’s up to you how we do it” is a much easier sell IMO than “you’ll use our app and you’ll fucking like it”
At the beginning the app I was using held a poll to see whether users would pay a subscription and initially I said I’d pay £4 a month or so but it really was how spez dealt with the situation that pushed me away from the site.
The total contempt shown for the people who make his site for him left me flabbergasted. Ultimately I think it’s for the best as I’d never have found lemmy and the fediverse.
I’m in. Anyone got a catchy idea?

Dude, don’t waste money on that. Wanna help? Donate it to your instance 😉.
You forgot to mention that Lemmy has cookies. Reddit only has stale, decade-old bread.
If you’re talking about tracking cookies, I’m sure Reddit has plenty of them.
I’ll do it if we get enough people to pitch in.
Number 2 is a work of art, bravo
Thanks! I don’t have the energy to but an ad, but I hereby grant these words to anyone to use for that purpose.
What’s wrong with a good old fashioned “fuck spez”?
*fuck u/spez
Pronouncing the u just makes it better
It would be funny to buy an ad that said that if it didn’t involve giving him money
Maybe something like, “Your ad could be here or if you’re sick to the back fucking teeth of ads you should come to lemmy”
Is there anything stopping an instance from adding in their own ads?

Or they accept it as a way to pay for that instance. The servers aren’t free at the end of the day.
I’d have no issue with paying a small fee to have no ads tbh.

To a non profit or volunteer org, sure. To make spez rich, I’ll pass.

Perhaps, but I think the nature of Lemmy discourages the brute force aggressive ads that you can see elsewhere.
Compatibility of the ads with other software.
