Fediverse is said to be too confusing to use from redditors when reasons are given for why that haven't joined, so this demographic of users likely skews much higher towards ad blocking with how niche the user base is.
By the same token, one can argue that expert Fediversers shouldn't have any trouble retracing the true origin of whatever story they want to post and linking to that instead, to give credit where credit is due.
Because really, it doesn't cost anything and it helps deprive the leeching aggregators of a few clicks.
That's a different matter though when it comes to ad block usage here, which you had presented as though this place has the same mainstream access of non ad block users as other platforms.
I'm just talking about ad block usage of fediverse compared to other sites.
