On May 5, Twitter announced that it has launched a new prompt that will display when users are about to publish a mean tweet, giving them a chance to rethink it.

As part of a limited experiment, Twitter will be asking users if they're sure they want to post that mean tweet before they hit publish. The company announced this on May 5, officially describing it as "a prompt that gives you the option to revise your reply before it's published if it uses language that could be harmful”.
