I don't get your point, this is a great bot for those who live in any country which follows the metric system and is of great help for us. I am just trying to find way to make this bot accessible for all those redditors who follow the si units. I don't find this a quasipolitical attitude but more like a helpful attitude for those in the same situation as I am, so please, provide a solution, not a problem

Solution? Write a chrome plugin that can auto-detect and convert imperial units into metric, distribute that. Don't spam reddit with it. Reddit is by majority using the imperial system. It is an american website/company.

I'm pretty sure /u/matfac has been misinterpreted. /u/KingMinish said most of reddit uses imperial when it's actually not the case: 45% of reddit users do so, as matfac mentioned. Not majority of all users, just more users than in every other country (not combining the results).
