Just an FYI, but accidental flagging happens to me all the time on my iphone, would be nice to have a flag-confirm on mobile (I'd bet mobile flagging correlates much worse with controversy if others are having that problem too)

Downvoting, too. Have to zoom in so the up triangle is unmissable.

What about instead having the ability to change your vote?

Yeah, being able to change it within a minute of the initial vote would solve my use case.

I'd recommend using a thick client. I'm not sure how you use HN plain on a mobile

How not? It's mostly just plain text. Easier than most other sites.

Because of the reasons mentioned above me, the UX/UI isn't designed for mobile, hence mistakenly clicking the wrong buttons.

I read hn a lot on my phone; I super-zoom when hitting any arrows to give me a huge triangle, then zoom back out.
