I don’t have a particular problem with instances deciding that they want to fund themselves through advertising. When the Fediverse was developing, one of my predictions was that instances would come up with multiple different ways to fund each other including donations, subscriptions and advertising.
Do you never e-mail people with gmail or yahoo addresses?
Then a good solution would be a license that specifically disallows any entity that works with/for Meta to use your content for advertising.
Your welcome to licence ur content so that can happen if you'd like to. Id prefer not to support that and to have some backing against that.
The social media companies seem to think their data is valuable. If we licence it then they canot extract value from it therefore they have no reason to exert influence over the fediverse.
