← Back to context Comment by shric 3 days ago There is either an unvote or undown option once you’ve hit one 8 comments shric Reply HK-NC 12 hours ago Theres onoy an Up button for me. I had no idea you could Down anyone here. IAmBroom 9 hours ago You need a certain amount of upvote points to be able to downvote. New users don't have that option. oneeyedpigeon 3 days ago Ah, thanks. That confirms I upvoted, but I think "vote" is a silly verb to use to convey the opposite of "down"! shric 2 days ago I agree, but I struggle to think of a cleaner way without sacrificing the minimalist and mostly accessible theme.I love that there are no images, not even Unicode emojis, no ads, no side bars, etc. oneeyedpigeon 1 day ago "unup"? I know that sounds a bit weird, but I think the unambiguity still makes it better. "Unupvote" might be an alternative, if that's 'less weird'.There are alternatives to a simple word change. For example, instead of hiding both arrows, it could just keep the one you pressed, but in grey. rimbo789 2 days ago I’d say 60% of the time I go to vote I click a users name instead when I’m on mobile. da_chicken 2 days ago That's still a bad UI.But at this point I think the bad UX on Hacker News has to be an intentional joke. kibwen 2 days ago Nowadays there is. For the first ten years or so, you just had to shrug and apologize to the commenter for accidentally and irrevocably downvoting them.
