Under a post there’s a […] menu in the bottom right corner.
Today I clicked on it to see what’s in it. And I’ve been on a post of myself. When you do this the menu opens and you stand immediately on the delete icon. The next click deletes your post. And this happened because I didn’t pay attention. I didn’t see any question, my post is gone. The most dangerous action on the shortest click. When the article is not yours then you stand on the bookmark icon - this means: one action, two different results.
In my opinion this entire menu is not needed, it hides actions not needed to be hidden at all and produces unneeded clicks. There’s always enough space to show the items permanently.
I suggest two things:
- remove this menu, place the items directly under each post
- implement a confirmation question for deleting a post
Update: it has also something ridiculous: when you see a post of yourself the menu contains two items (bookmark the post and delete the post). When you see a post of someone else the menu contains not more than exactly one item (bookmark). This means you have to make a click on an icon which shows you then another icon instead - an absolutely senseless, superfluous construction.
