@th3j35t3r I think the root of all evil on social media has been the monetization of user data. Protect us from that, and the rest will follow. I wouldn't object to ads if truly necessary to keep the site going, but only if they were not targeted and did not have access to user data in any way. For example: an occasional promoted toot that shows up for *everyone* would be annoying but acceptable; one that accesses my posts or profile to determine whether it is shown to me is not acceptable.
