Using Boost for Lemmy, I got an obvious political ad from the right asking to sign a petition to scrap the gun “ban” in Canada (it’s a registry not a ban).

Now I understand this is an ad but I don’t appreciate having propaganda from the right injected into my browsing on lemmy. Have better ads, or let us report them.

    that just comes with the territory at the moment, which is why i either pay for ad removal (one-time payments only), use open source alternatives and use an adblocker.

      That’s great for you and all, some of us would like to protect others from the harm this shit causes.
