My random compromise suggestion:
If advertising is the good point of Yahoo, and privacy is the good point of
lojban.org hosting, What about a compromise of keeping the lojban-beginners
list on Yahoo for advertising and ease of subscription and administration, and
host the other list on lojban.org for more experienced ( and picky ;) users?
