Stop downvoting foreign languages posts. Just use the language filter. (forum.ayom.media)

Constantly users from lemmy.world and lemm.ee are downvoting posts in languages other than english.

If you do not understand and don't wanna see it just use the filters.

Go to settings and select the languages you know, plus "undetermined". That's it.

people who are seeing this, plese let your instances admins know of this problem and comunicate the instance users.

Thanks

Fact: the US uses the metric system for decades (maybe closer to a century?). All federal contracts in the US must be in metric. Its not the same at the State level, and its not mandated for private businesses--unless they're working for the federal government.

Also every US American is taught metric in schools.
