Hi there!
Since you got some negative feedback here, I want to keep it cool:
- If you only want to show ads on YOUR system/instance, I think you can go on and do that. Your users can decide if they are fine with using a service that is monetizing via ads. Just make it clear to potential users BEFORE they sign up.
- If you start federating your ads to other instances on the Fediverse, you will be banned pretty quickly, so do NOT do this.
- Maybe think about a mixed approach of donations and ads, so users could work actively against being flooded with more and more ads.
