The argument the mod writes is 👌

Update : there’s a new one that appears but, I’ve checked, that’s the same mod as the others

Update 2 : got contacted by the mod, overall sweet guy/gal we agree to disagree and keep the ban up, who said that Lemmy cannot be civil

    knowing streets and predicting road congestion are not creative acts, that is they are not creating something

      Wow, okay. I mean I was being sarcastic with my comment, but now I kinda regret it. Way to cheapen another profession’s talents and trade.

        nothing in your comment indicated sarcasm. unless you’re brand new to the Internet you should know perfectly well that pure-text communication lacks the fidelity to indicate that. this is why so many times over the age of the internet people have tried to add in a way to communicate that either with “/s” or SaRcAsM/mOcKiNg CaSe, or italics sometimes, someone once even tried to make a sarcasm mark

        I said nothing to cheapen taxi drivers or their profession. I respect and appreciate it a great deal, especially with examples of them unionizing. That doesn’t change the fact that the profession does not create a thing. I find it disingenuous that you would suggest that not calling a profession creative would diminish it.

        Garbagemen, for instance, is a profession that is very much worth respecting but also which does not create anything.
