A touch of Reddit is being tested on Twitter, as the social network said in a tweet Wednesday that it is experimenting with allowing users to upvote or downvote on replies.

The test is running with some iOS users, and Twitter said upvotes will be shown as likes, while downvotes will not be displayed publicly.

Twitter said, “We’re testing this to understand the types of replies you find relevant in a convo, so we can work on ways to show more of them.”
