Servers cost money to upkeep. So owners of big instances could start posting, ads, pin them and ban other users posting ads or delete their posts. This is obviously almost the worst case scenario. I feel that it wouldn't happen in the near future, as Lemmy grows to become a larger platform. I haven't seen this type of ads on Reddit so is there something stopping this?

I'm never one to usually tip or donate to these kind of things online (only recently been in a position to afford it) but I've chucked in some cash to my instance. If we want this concept to work then we need to support it if we can.

I think as long as instance admins keep being transparent then people will feel comfortable with donating.
