A metric bot for social networks like Mastodon, Bluesky (bsky), but not 𝕏 (formerly Twitter).

If mentioned with 'please' on a tweet containing imperial units, will reply with converted metric units for your convenience.

== Active bots

* https://bsky.app/profile/metricbot.de[+🇺🇸 metricbot.de+] on 🌀 Bluesky

* https://botsin.space/@metricbot[+🇺🇸 @[email protected]+] on 🐘 Mastodon

== Inactive bots

* https://twitter.com/metricbot1/with_replies[+🇺🇸 @metricbot1+] on 🐦 Twitter +

Due to unusable API (constraints as well as SDK quality).

== How to use

If you spot a tweet with metric units in it, create a reply and mention `@metricbot1 please` or `@metricbot1 convert please`.

For Mastodon, use `@[email protected] please` or `@[email protected] convert please`.

== Features

* find tweets with imperial units.

* can convert units to metrics and reply.

No idea what makes the Celsius temperature more metric than Fahrenheit, but Fahrenheit is a very convenient unit.
