My issue is with the mixed signals this sends. We have a culture of not downvoting because we don't like or we disagree. And people listen to that.
We downvote on spam and hate and things that ought not to be on snapzu.
And then you tell people to downvote things if they aren't in English. And once again people listen. If it's part of the menu then it's what I ought to do, right? It moves us towards a casual downvote culture like reddit's.
Ideally we'd have a "hide" option to mask things we don't want to see without downvoting but even without it I think we'd be better off removing the option from the menu.
