Twitter, one of the most popular social networks in the world, conducted a test with a small user base last year. Within the scope of this test, users gave dislike for replies to a tweet, and this reply was sent to the lower ranks under that tweet. Making a new statement about the feature, Twitter announced that it will expand the scope of this feature and that all users around the world will start testing this feature. The feature can now be experienced on iOS and Android in addition to the web version.
Twitter will not disclose how many ‘dislikes’ replies to a tweet are. Because the platform does not want to offend users with this feature. The main goal of the company is to send the response to a tweet that users generally dislike, to the bottom of all replies on that post. Twitter states that this feature is important.
“Disliking allowed offensive and irrelevant comments to be filtered out”
In the statements made by Twitter, the results of the test carried out in the previous periods were mentioned. According to officials, this feature enabled users to filter offensive or irrelevant comments. That’s why, explaining that this feature is considered important, officials say that the quality of mutual commentary on Twitter will increase thanks to the feature.
Twitter’s dislike feature has started to be offered to users. So, perhaps you too may have been involved in this test program. If you have seen and experienced this feature, you can share your ideas with us.
