Ask HN: Undo save comment
I'm new to HN, and still navigating the UI. I accidentally 'saved' a comment, and would like to unsave it. I found a thread from a few years ago suggesting that this is not possible. Is that still the case?
Evidently HN users gain the ability to downvote when they reach 500 karma. Does downvoting a previously upvoted comment essentially unsave it?
1 comment
[ 0.25 ms ] story [ 10.5 ms ] thread'Save' and 'Upvote' are essentially the same function. While you will eventually receive downvote privileges for comments (never for stories), there's no ability to change from an upvote to a downvote or vice versa. (Which leads to occasional mis-votes, especially on mobile devices.)
So an upvote can never be revoked or changed; and therefore never can a saved comment.
Welcome onboard by the way!
