I keep accidentally hitting a report control when trying to upvote. This seems to happen when there isn’t a photo to the right of the arrows when I’ve opened a post. It took me a few recurrences to figure out what was happening. I’ve attached a screenshot of what I’m seeing. I’m on iPad iOS. In Safari.

Edit: It seems that what I thought I was creating is really feedback on someone else reporting. Leaving this post in case someone else sees what I was seeing.

    I too saw several “reporting” green alert popping up, I just hope it wasn’t me accidentally reporting someone :(

    Are you talking about the speech bubble? That’s not the report button, that’s the link or text body button. Are you seeing the notification about a report being filed - that seems to be happening because a different user is reporting the post.

    I could be completely wrong about this but I don’t think you’re fat fingering it here

      Haha. My fingers aren’t technically fat. Normal size fingers that sometimes miss what they’re aiming for. Maybe it’s an American slang term for creating typos due to fingers landing on the wrong key? Good reminder of language use in an international platform! 🫣

        Lol. I meant to post my comment on another thread, but it seems as if lemmy is a bit buggy on the mobile browser

          So someone fat fingered my fat finger post and the misplaced post was related to slimming down fat fingers! I love Internet forums! 😝

    That’s probably what is happening! Someone else is reporting. Good to know, and I retract my concern. I’m going to edit my post in case someone else is in the same boat. It’s happening a lot on this particular post, so if there is something wrong with this post, maybe someone should address.
