X set to roll out a downvote button for replieswww.socialsamosa.com Prior to Elon Musk's acquisition of the platform, Twitter explored both upvoting and downvoting buttons, mirroring the functionality it saw on Reddit.

It can work in the other direction too, but even still, it buries things people don't want to hear making the online bubble effect even worse

And it has the effect of burying sarcasm because people who take it seriously downvote it. So the only jokes you're left with are puns. If people see an already downvoted comment, the hive mind thinks "oh, I'm not supposed to like this"
