hearing that someone's writing an ads plugin for Mastodon

and I gotta say

any instance that runs that, I will defederate immediately.

Edit: Adding some clarification on what I think "ads" means, and why I have this stance, in replies.

@aurynn Why defederate? What’s it to you if their users get ads? Maybe they are good enough or the service is good enough to warrant being on there. We need sustainable business models and diverse approaches. Opposing diversity through extreme measures such as defederation is quite a negative culture and enforces the social bubble.

@aurynn perhaps not the most mature response to discussion

@aurynn no part of it. Just disappointed you stoop to that level

@Setok oh no, internet man who thinks that defederation is “extreme” is disappointed in me for being told to fuck off

Yet still he does not fuck off

@aurynn I guess, despite your profile text, you’re not so friendly after all

@Setok I’m quite friendly when people aren’t dumping exploitative apologia into my mentions
