Seeing a lot of complaints about the lack of swiping to upvote/downvote. Which is just hysterical to me because it’s just a tap on boost for the vote controls, which is less movement.

One swipe to upvote a comment is much easier than two taps.

I like swipe gestures as well I guess it is about what you are used to and what not.

If it’s too hard for you to upvote, don’t upvote 🙃

How is two taps, the second needing to be precise less movement than one general swipe?

Same, I never liked swipe controls. Using Sync the last little bit, I would always accidentally save things when scrolling.

Swiping gestures are generally annoying imo. I also find them a lot more prone to accidents

It’s not about reducing movement, it’s about 1-handability when you’re holding your phone in the other hand and can’t reach across for an upvote. Sync sold me on it instantly when it finally came out.

Regrettably, while I could have swiped to upvote, I had to swap hands to downvote you; at least I could still swipe to reply.
