The message read: “We’re testing this to understand the types of replies you find relevant in a convo, so we can work on ways to show more of them.

“Your downvotes aren’t public, while your upvotes will be shown as likes.”

The new feature comes a day after Twitter launched TweetDeck, a social media dashboard application device for management of the platform’s accounts.
