Oh great, just what I want! Another projectile vomit stream of advertising. And not just “real” advertising (quick, load another blocker), but a platform where everyone is financially encouraged to scam everyone. What could go wrong?
Thankfully, advertising is apparently against Lemmy’s ToS (although I’ve never seen that specifically stated). When I see a post that is directly selling something, I immediately report it. Fuck TikTok and the rest of those greedy slimeballs.
lemmy doesn’t really have a TOS afaik (and even if the software had something in its license, it’s the fediverse: people can interact with you on lemmy without using lemmy!). your instance might, but other instances might have totally different rules… there’s nothing stopping a just-ads-lemmy.com instance, other than it’d probably get defederated pretty quick
