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.

Have you considered using Lemmy Connect? I've been very happy with it

Connect is the first app that I used for lemmy. I switched to Boost when I kept upvoting and bookmarking stuff randomly because I was swiping sideways when trying to swipe up or down. I know it can be disabled but I wanted to try something else. Boost looked nice and I like it in general but the ads are pretty noticeable when I let them through (I could block them with adguard). I understand the devs want to earn a bit and simply use Google ads but the quality and quantity is less appealing. I might buy the ad free version of Boost but I don't like to feel pushed to do that because ads are awful, so maybe I'll go back to Connect.
