Twitter may be getting rid of Fleets, but it's giving another new feature a spin: a dislike button for replies.
Twitter revealed Wednesday it's testing a button that lets users downvote replies, which is now available for some on iOS. A graphic from Twitter showed a few different versions of the feature involving either a downvote arrow or a thumbs down. Twitter said that the dislikes won't be public, although the upvotes will be public and displayed as likes.
