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