Twitter considering adding downvote button for evaluating relevance of posts.

In recent developments, X (formerly Twitter) is considering adding a negative button to its platform, allowing users to rate posts based on their relevance or accuracy. This feature was previously tested by the company in 2021 as an option to evaluate tweets similarly to Reddit’s system. However, it was not implemented at that time.

Now, with Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform, X is revisiting this feature and considering adding a downvote button to posts to indicate when users find the shared content irrelevant. References in the code of the latest update of the iOS app suggest that X plans to introduce negative votes to enhance the ranking of posts on the platform.

Engineer and analyst Aaron Perris shared this information in a post picked up by TechCrunch, showcasing an image of the downvote button on posts, shaped like an inverted yellow arrow next to the ‘Like’ heart icon. Engineer Jay Baxter and X Community Notes founder, along with Elon Musk, have also spoken about this upcoming feature.

Baxter mentioned that negative votes could support the function of commented notes as another method for evaluating publications. He also emphasized the importance of using the negative buttons wisely to avoid creating a hive mind similar to Reddit. X aims to prevent this by using features like private ratings in comments to maintain diversity of opinions.

As discussions regarding the addition of a negative button on X continue, users are encouraged to be cautious when navigating online casinos for real money. From tips for success to selecting reliable platforms with convenient money withdrawal options, many factors play a significant role in ensuring a positive experience. With a focus on safety, fairness, and reputable online casinos, users can make informed decisions to enhance their online gaming experience.
