ETA: The word is Parenthood, idk what’s up with the lemmy.world “illegal picture scanner”, but it would reject my upload if it had any words relating to kids, apparently, up to and including “parenthood”

PSA: If you don’t know, coin cells are very easy for toddlers to swallow and very deadly in a matter of hours when stomach acid starts breaching it and mixing with the battery chemistry if not promptly treated.

    I reversed my downvote after reading this. I thought you’d just censored parenthood for no reason. That’s fucked up

      Thanks yea took me like half an hour to workout, they definitely should adjust their rejection error message to be useful to

      Even after I figured out it was being rejected rather than just a general error, I thought it was the toxic waste barrels at first lolol

        How did you figure out it was being rejected? I had some issues a while back trying to post a picture of my cat, but I just gave up.

          I tried uploading on the lemmy.world website and would get an error message"External Validation Failed" some googling later and came across a lemmy.world post talking about that’s the message when an upload gets rejected by their illegal content scanner

        Agreed. The obvious reason being that it’s to catch instances of “Planned Parenthood” but… why ban that phrase???
