Summary:

The click area for the mouse on the upvote button beneath the posts is so small (maybe just the height), i always do accidentally open the linked article or detail view of the post. It's annoying.

This could possibly be solved by having rich embed text change colour on hover, like the like button already does. It could also be redesigned visually and have a thin border box or something alike.

Steps to reproduce:

Click a bit around the upvote button.

@michaelfbradley wanted your opinion on this card:

Are our interaction buttons big enough?

How do we want to address animations for our buttons?
