After copying Instagram Stories with fleets and shutting it down last week, Twitter is now testing Reddit-like upvotes and downvotes for tweets. The test is currently live on Twitter’s iOS app for some users.
Unlike Reddit, downvote counts are not public on Twitter – at least, not at the moment. As a result, other Twitter users can’t see if you downvoted a tweet or the total number of downvotes on a specific tweet. The upvote button, on the other hand, will replicate the current “Like” functionality.
Even from one account to another, Twitter’s new dislike button looks different.
