also let's be honest; this is just another way for bigots to harass marginalised people on twitter.
It can't emulate Reddit as long as tweet length is capped for free users
Wait until reddit introduces that "feature".
Mind blown, would you be interested in an executive position at Reddit. What other great ideas you got?
What if we minted all the comments our users make into NFTs and sell them? Also, POGs. They're due for a comeback.
I don't know if anyone remembers it, but Twitter actually had dislike as experimental feature for some users for some time before Elon, I think like 2 or 3 years ago, I remember having it on one of my accounts
I like that everyone thinks it makes a difference whether or not this is a feature, when in reality people have a tendency to carve a desire path to anything they feel makes sense. Twitter may not have a downvote but they do have the "ratio" which does basically the same thing using the mechanics of Twitter.
Given the rumours surrounding the CEO of Twitter, and how he may have pushed for his account to be prioritised because the algorithm knocked it down for being blocked so much, this feature doesn't seem like it has long for the world, unless he makes them add an exception for him.
This is about that Twitter website people used to use right?
Sorry, out of the loop here.
They had them before. What makes it any different now?
It desperately needs this. Very inflammatory tweets can get widely circulated by brigading with no real way to stop it even if it's a wildly unpopular sentiment.
I'd prefer a filter for blue checkmarks.
I think they should go all in on emulating reddit. In fact, I think they should get more in line with the naming scheme of reddit, an re-rename their brand to X-it.
well they already have the nazis and csam.....
