Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Community service is not forced labour đź’€
You mean prison labour is forced labour. Community service is when they make dumbass teens arrested for something like vandalism or underage drinking, go and work at a soup kitchen, or pick up garbage off the side of the road as punishment.
So... Forced labour?
Picking up garbage and serving homeless people food is forced labour?
Calling those things “forced labour” is horrifically derogatory to those who actually have to work farms, factories, construction work, and other extreme labour while in prison.
You realize that a lot of socialist rehabilitative work is community service correct?
So you are saying US prisons are bad for forcing inmates to preform labor while advocating for community service?
(/s hopefully, obviously )
technically non-voluntary labour is forced, yes, although that's also true for rehabilitation through labour (potentially a good thing) and "forced labour" has a negative connotation
I got hit with 24 hours of community service when I was a teen. Worked it off on a library, not bad. Actually wanted to get a full time job there.
That’s really nice, libraries are vital parts of the community, and volunteering or doing service at one is a very good thing.
It was around Halloween time. I spent my time putting loaned books back on the shelves in their proper place for the most part, but also got to spray-paint some branches and hang spooky decorations! I remember it rather fondly.
Got to take as many smoke breaks as I liked, too, lol. Was not a fan of digging the weeds out of the flowerbed, however.
If and when I am ever offered the opportunity to retire, I believe I would very much like to be a librarian in a rural area.
Don't forget expat! They love that one.
