Then please remove it.
I have hit the hide button twice, and by mistake.
When I tried to use this for cleaning up my feed, same links appeared towards the end as different entried. Happened thrice or so. I don't use it since then.
IMO, you also need to get rid of the flag button on the homepage. I have also fat-fingered it ~3 times. One of them, I was able to unflag it from my browser history.
Flag should only be availavle on the story page, IMO, and not the home page.
