The upvote is too small too.
3 comments

Especially when there's a downvote button about a pixel away!

I think every time I get more downvotes I end up burning them accidentally on comments I intended to up vote :(

You can click `undown` if the downvote is accidental, it remains available for an hour or so after the button is clicked. (I can't remember the exact time, but it does expire at some point.)
Yea, I do that a lot. But I also suspect that sometimes I though I hit the upvote button, but HN registered it as a downvote anyways. Both of the buttons combined are smaller than the tip of my finger, and they both disappear as soon as one is tapped :(
The text for an upvote is “unvote” and for downvotes is “undown”. So if you check that you’ll see which you did.
Oh, awesome, I didn't realize that!
Agreed. At least the downvote v button can be next to comment tree collapser. So unintended up/down votes are avoided.
Give this man an up vote! Shit, I accidentally clicked down vote.
