Second, this is social communication not an #ad, you’re not being sponsored by a company to reply to me, in fact, you didn’t have to reply to me at all. Third, #Meta is implementing the ability to run ads into #AP this will most likely be done through an #API (but I don’t know I don’t work for Meta or am a programmer).

And based on your experience with other admins, do you think they would? <br/><br/>Background: Meta is thinking of ways to monetize the Fediverse by supporting servers running ads and supporting micro-transactions (this is speculation as of now, re: what’s Meta’s interest in the Fediverse?) 2024-05-08T01:32:01Z
