X May Add Downvotes for Post Replies
4 months ago
X is considering downvotes for post replies to enhance debate relevance. Spotted by Aaron Perris and confirmed by X engineer Jay Baxter, this feature aims to rank engagement better and display relevant comments. The downvote option is to downrank spam, junk, or misleading statements, not personal disagreements. Unlike Reddit, X plans to weight downvotes based on political perspectives to prevent bias.
