Hide comment delete/report links in mobile view #2727

Open benjiwheeler opened 5 years ago

benjiwheeler commented 5 years ago

Per design from @kathymakes, delete and report links should be taken out from comments in mobile stacking view.

This is a follow-up to https://github.com/LLK/scratch-www/pull/2512

To be clear, does this mean removing the ability to report comments on mobile devices?

benjiwheeler commented 5 years ago

@towerofnix Yes (well, widths < 768px... so many tablets will still give you the full experience in landscape.)

Do you think the ability to report comments on mobile should stay?

towerofnix commented 5 years ago

Yes, I do. Now that Scratch will be capable of playing projects on small mobile devices, there will be more users who use Scratch on phones in general. I understand that mobile devices are harder to design for because they have much less screen estate to work with, but being able to report comments is a core part of being part of the Scratch community. So, while maybe replying to comments (that isn't implemented on mobile view, right?) is still a little ways off before it's added on mobile, we certainly should not make it seem as though the mobile view is being ignored by removing the basic delete/report buttons.

Btw, there's a simple logic that if comments can be read on phones, they will be read on phones. (Sort of inherent given how big the Scratch community, but especially true because people will be more likely to browse comments on phones since they can run projects on phones too.) And so Community Guidelines-breaking comments will be read on phones too - and without a report button, those comments will be left there, to cause harm longer than if there were a report button available to the person who read it on their phone.

Agreed re: @towerofnix. Let's discuss @benjiwheeler @kathymakes.
