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.

      The picture is showing someone with a hunting rifle, which is not banned. Assault weapons and handguns are indeed forbidden, but guns are not blanket banned in Canada. You can still buy and shoot a hunting rifle, which this ad suggests is banned while in fact, it is not. There is a registry for those, but not a ban.

      And anyway I wanted to know how to report the ad, not your opinion on the ad itself. It’s the community for Boost and I had a question on Boost, not political discussions.
