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.

      OP is using an app to browse the fediverse. Apps are not free to develop and the devs need to eat. I use sync and I’m paying for ultra so I can both support the dev and not have to see ads even though I do block ads system wide

        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.
