How would you prevent abuse of the downvoting button? Any serious feature proposal should explain how it’s useful but also how its abuse would have limited effects.
> More visibility to smaller tweeters. My feed is full of boring/dumb comments from "big tweeters" that get thousands of likes because of their large number of followers. Smart tweets from upstarts often get little to no viewings.
Switch to the "regular" feed that shows only content from people you follow. That won’t help you discover small accounts but at least you won’t get the boring accounts.

Yes, people would sometimes downvote things they just disagree with, but I'd rather have more containerization than endless flame wars. If you want quality debate, find a tweeter whose followers want the same thing. Or have you debate off Twitter. > Switch to the "regular" feed that shows only content from people you follow. My main gripe is that I want more people to discover _me_ :-D But in general platforms like Tiktok make it much more inviting for new people to contribute. Being a low-follower-count tweeter is not fun.
