Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to make the space in the comment header clickable to collapse/expand, which will reduce the distance a bit. Would that work for you?

The other alternative might be to add a setting to move the collapse/expand arrow to be part of the icons on the right.

I would find it much more natural to have both expand/collapse and upvote/downvote on the left, simply because text is left-aligned.

I find any functionality pushed all the way to the right side to be harder to use, simply because it's not "together" with everything else on the left. Your eye has to do more work to match right-side content to left-side across a whitespace.

Yeah that makes sense. I'll add a setting to move vote icons to the left. Thanks.
