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.

    So if it is my livelihood, I should be able to manipulate people?

    I was feeling inhibited to do so but it makes more sense coming from that perspective.

      Where above has this been mentioned?

          Ok. If that’s so, from the same sentence I can conclude that OP stated that working is a form of manipulation and nobody should work, ever. But, NO. No need to put words into one’s mouth unless it’s specifically written as such.

            What? I have been talking about ads all along. If you reacted to me, you reacted to me asking about ads.
