They follow what is advertised. Fediverse, by its nature, doesn't have money for this. There was a push for Mastodon, though.
When you say there was a push, do you mean there was a time when they did have ads, or do you mean the community push with the twitter troubles?
The community push, mainly. But there seemed to be a PR campaign to capitalize on it. I don't know if there were official adverts.
Ah okay, that was my understanding as well. I was curious if anyone had tried making an ad.
