Yeah I couldn't believe my flagged profile. I really think a yes/no double confirm could prevent a lot of these.. also since it's such a rarely used feature I don't think anyone would mind confirming it.

I was surprised, too! Then I went back to the front page and noticed the “flag” link is usually right around where my thumb goes when scrolling the page on mobile.

Same. I've never intentionally flagged a story I don't think but had a dozen or so that I guess I fat fingered

As someone who never intentionally has flagged anything, I expected to see maybe three... but saw 19, ugh.

I've flagged 6. Oops. I didn't even know I could flag posts. Now I'm worried I ruined someone(s) day unintentionally.

Same, I found many false flags.

Same! Almost NONE of them are ones I intentionally flagged!

Yikes, same, I had so many.

also same, looks like I've accidentally flagged dozens of posts :(

Eventually you get shadowbanned from flagging. I also fat finger and my flags aren't counted anymore.
