The test appears to be the latest effort in a long line of tweaks aimed at improving "conversational health" on the platform. It follows various Twitter conversation health initiatives — some deemed more successful than others — such as the ability to limit replies, so-called humanization prompts, and quote-tweet prompts.

In response, the company explained that the example it provided is the only one currently being tested, and that while the experiment is small, there will be more (presumably) like it.
Twitter users, as one might expect, are already responding to the announced vibe check.
