Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?
Ah, I gotcha.
Each community has the power to restrict the languages used in that community.
I can’t speak to the effectiveness of the system, as I don’t really spend time in non-English communities, but it’s certainly a poorly-documented feature.
It ensures that people who can’t read your post (that is, they have that language deselected in their own account settings) won’t see it.
Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published
My experience with modding an external community hasn’t been too bad, but it’s a very lightly used community, and there’s also a mod with a local account, which gives a certain level of safety.
