Just out of curiosity I cheked my list for flagged comments and posts. There are a few comments I flagged, and they've been marked dead, correctly.
But holy* I have so may flagged posts that the list doesn't fit on one page. The latest one is from 2024/03 and oldest one is from 2020/06 (maybe that's when I started owning an iPhone, but not sure). And I don't see any reason why I'd flag any of those submissions.
I think it's very likely that the order of the text/link below the story title (on the frontpage) is to blame. For example:
> nn points by xxxxx n hours ago | flag | hide | nnn comments
The fact that links 'n hours ago' and 'flag' are right next to each other makes it very easy to click on the 'flag' accidentally.
So a +1 from me to do something to fix this problem.
