All the science is against this. There is a damn reason every site with one has removed it.
The effect of this on twitter will be to simultaneously upset EVERYONE. LGBT people still on the site will be mass downvoted by far right. The chuds on the site will be mass harassed by the left. All groups will be upset by it.
Any large account will be able to cause a mob of downvotes with a simple retweet. The result of getting downvoted won't improve anyone's behaviour it will instead make them more hostile and more toxic.
I strongly disagree with that, removing dislikes on youtube was one of the numerous shit decisions youtube tooks. And it's a general opinion.
Dislikes on videos from creators trying to build an audience is not the same as dislikes on random people's tweets. Not to mention even on YouTube the feature didn't work, because most people like most videos they choose to watch, so therefore the majority of videos that got mostly downvotes were brigaded for reasons unrelated to their quality.
