X Suspected of Launching Test for "Dislike" Function

Odaily News According to NDTV, Nikita Bier, X platform product lead and Solana advisor, quickly responded with "Give me 60 seconds" after a user suggested adding a "Dislike" button. Subsequently, some users saw a newly appeared thumbs-down icon below the post, indicating that X may have begun small-scale testing of this feature. It is reported that the current test appears to be only for reply content. The "Dislike" results will not be publicly displayed but will serve as private negative feedback signals, fed into the platform's ranking algorithm to adjust content exposure. This means users can express dissatisfaction without triggering public backlash, thereby helping X optimize content presentation.
