    Lemmy occasionally has announcement posts: “Hey bros, we’d like it if more people could donate to assist with hosting/maintenance costs”. That, by any basic standard, is an ad, just like choosing to support these artists is a purchase.

    Any mention of a popular game or movie, like recent reviews, is also effectively an ad. The difference is, some can be less obtrusive, or even openly invited because the user base is actively seeking the type of item being advertised.
