     @Twitter_expat @stux :blobcatmeltthumb: to me, an API would probably be the best way, but I’m not really sure to be honest. Here’s the article that prompted the question, plus knowing Zuck he’ll always find a way to make his money, so he’s not in the Fediverse for “fun” know what I mean?

     Thanks. I am calm down BTW. I just wanted to know the tech part of how it could be done using activity pub.

     BeAware :fediverse: repeated this.

     @Twitter_expat @stux Ok, first, calm down. 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). (1/3)

     What do you mean by Meta "supporting" servers?
     Everyone is demonizing with extreme ignorance the word Ad. Every account in the #Fediverse IS an AD, is a promotion. Me with this toot I am promoting myself and what I think, Im selling my ideas to everyone who reads this. Every #threads post that anyone sees in the fediverse is and AD for Meta. So again before demonizing the word advertising can you explain in tech terms how using #activitypub instances "will run ads" ?

     @stux Serious question since #Threads is potentially looking into this: if they integrated into AP the ability to run ads on servers as a way to generate money to maintain said server, would you enable them? And based on your experience with other admins, do you think they would?

     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?)

     The main purpose of advertisements is to increase consumption more and more while destroying the planet in the process

     Everyday brands play a mind game with us to try and increase their sales, on posters in public trainstation, at the side of the road on a massive billboards or even on the internet

     We should not tolerate this :nkoHammer: 🇦🇩
