Some Twitter users on iOS have started to see a new button which is very similar to the counter vote button on Reddit.
It is the latest social networking experiment designed to give more information to those who post and reply extensively on Twitter about what replies users prefer.
Some of you on iOS may see different options to up or down vote on replies. 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.
Your downvotes aren’t public, while your upvotes will be shown as likes. pic.twitter.com/hrBfrKQdcY

Users have noticed several different options with the new system. Some see the pro and no vote button, some just the no vote option next to the Twitter approval option. A third version shows users the finger icons up and down.
Pro votes will be displayed as likes. For now, the pros and cons will not change the ranking of replies as Reddit does by pushing towards the bottom of those that are most disapproved. / PCWorld Albanian
