Twitter to conduct a series of experiments to 'fix' the dunk and ratio and other fun things

If you ask just about anybody who spends time on Twitter, all they want is an edit button. Practically anything else seems to be a priority over at Twitter HQ, though, and now BuzzFeed is reporting that Twitter is going to try a few tweaks to fix Twitter dunking and the famous Twitter ratio — in other words, the very best parts of the service.

To use the service differently how?

Seriously? A negative emoji will result in a prompt asking why you disagree?

Alex Kantrowitz reports:

Twitter knows we treat each other terribly on Twitter. We dunk, ridiculing friends and strangers via quote-tweets. We ratio, piling on replies to bad tweets. We retweet without a second thought, spreading outrage and misinformation at warp speed.

But within the next two weeks, Twitter will debut a series of experiments meant to calm us down — subtly motivating us to use the quote-tweet, reply, and retweet in nondestructive ways.

In the second experiment, Twitter will automatically suggest people use an emoji in their replies. If you like something, you could use the heart-eyes emoji. If you don’t, you could use the red circle with a line going through it. But if you pick a negative emoji, Twitter will ask, “Why do you disagree?” — which it hopes will prompt a more thoughtful reply, rather than a flame war.

But Twitter is where we come for flame wars.

Because Jack just wants Twitter to be a platform for civil conversation, that’s all. And he apparently wants to ruin Twitter.
