Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Perhaps we don't call it a punishment. We can call it rehabilitation.
Sounds like indentured servitude to me.
True, but our society is generally okay with this when people break the law.
It’s called community service and if the person would rather pay a fine or go to jail they are normally allowed to pick those options.
That's where the "except as a punishment for crime" part of the 13th Amendment kicks in.
