Judging by the reaction in this thread, I feel like it might noticeably lower the noise floor on the moderation queue!

Same here. I use the favorite button a lot and that it is next to flag, I assume this is most likely what’s happened

Me too, like 20+ over the years. I had no clue I was misclicking. Some kind of confirmation would be a real good idea!

On mobile, up/down voting is super close.

I probably downvoted 20% of the time I tried to upvote until I realized I need to pinch-zoom super close and pay attention to the "on clicked" look of the link for the few milliseconds it appears.

Those arrows are not mobile friendly.

The message is different though. If you downvote it says undown.

No, it says unvote in both cases.

I verified it immediately before posting and I verified it again. It says undown when you downvote on mobile. I use Chrome on Android.

Once it is older than a few hours it probably doesn't matter any.

same; maybe two dozen flagged stories, none of which I intended to flag. Comments however, they seem to be flagged appropriately
