Also an account can only downvote once it has amassed a certain level of upvotes. It sounds like the Twitter downvote will be open to everyone when it is fully released, which would make it a lot easier to abuse.
- gnicholas 5y agoYes, although it would be trivial for Twitter to ignore or downweight downvotes from new accounts. It would be interesting if one of the main reasons for adding opaque downvotes is to give users the feeling that they had expressed an opinion without giving that expression any weight whatsoever. I guess this would be called 'downvote shadow-banning'.
