    something similar actually really annoys me on linkedin mobile, I'm left handed and often accidentally like posts if I scroll my feed as the like button is very close to where I naturally touch the screen to scroll.

      The solution is simple : don’t use LinkedIn :) I only use it when looking for a job and I never look at the “feed” (what’s that for anyway?)

        I get more useful and up-to-date info from LinkedIn than from here.

          LinkedIn is this constant networking event where everyone is looking for their next opportunity. It just feels gross to participate in it. Especially now that the only thing people do is talk about AI or use AI to talk about AI on their behalf.

            Not sure who you’re following on LinkedIn but this is most assuredly not the case for me or anyone I know

              up-to-date info on what sorts of topics?

            sometimes I wonder if things like this are actually dark patterns to _encourage_ accidentally clicking 'like' etc.

            similar to how in Threads, the '...' icon (under which 'save' is hidden) is so small that half the time clicking on it just clicks the entire thread (opening it to view replies) -- sometimes I suspect they make the target extra small on purpose

            or how on FB, some of the options in the menu are now under the AI generated content, which pops in just slowly enough to encourage misclicks as items shift under your finger

            all to make some PM's numbers go up, of course...

              I'm not left-handed, but I often scroll my phone with my left thumb. My right hand is on my computer mouse, or holding a pen, or employed to make precise touches on the phone screen with my right index finger, or briefly comes over to join with my left thumb for typing...

              Scrolling doesn't require much precision, and I naturally hold my phone in my left hand.

              Or perhaps the righteous versus the sinister.

                I approve of Latin jokes. Well done.

                I'm righthanded and I usually hold my phone in my left hand so I can do clicking and typing with my right hand, but I often do basic scrolling with my left thumb.
