Under what conditions would you be OK with ads on your lemmy instance?
Under what conditions would you be OK with ads on your lemmy instance?
I'll start:
- Some significant portion of funds go towards development of the Lemmy software. 80%? Rest goes to lemmy instance hosting.
- Ads are reasonable and non-intrusive (no popups etc)
- People can still browse w/ an adblocker
I personally would gladly turn off my adblocker if I knew the ads were supporting development. Hell, I might even click a few!

In what way is it a law? I haven't heard of this, unless we're interpreting a certain law differently.

Those laws don't completely outlaw usage of cookies though, they just say courtesy has to be followed when doing so.

I'm not a troll, I just know enough to respect when people running a website want to use their rightful authority as its owners to gather information, at least on a moral basis, versus when it is on an immoral basis, which would be if it's deceptive.

A website (at least those that end in dot com) are private property. It would be like recording footage of someone in your own home. All you need for that is basic transparency.

I am talking about both legality and morality, but they both refer to different aspects of all of this. For my case, I go by morality, but that doesn't mean certain aspects are necessarily illegal either. Selling info to a third party isn't a necessary part of the equation and not a part of what I was saying when I implied "as long as it's not deceptive".
