@joshbressers@infosec.exchange I'd tend to expect that from them, indeed. Whether they'd be able to do that, is less clear: as long as my instance only shows me the posts from accounts/hashtags to which I explicitly subscribed (as opposed to using some algorithm controlled by someone else), there's a chance that ads will make their way only following the same kind of paths as email ads. IOW, my optimistic-self hopes tht maybe it's not much easier to monetize the fediverse than it is to monetize email. In this case, it might be more useful to consider Meta's threat in light of things like Gmail's effect on email.
