Upvote/downvote button at the bottom of posts only, not the top. This would make votes more about what people who have read or skimmed the post think, and less about title and author
Similarly with comments. Especially with long comments on mobile it’s pretty awkward to go back up and find the vote buttons after finishing reading a comment so I usually vote after reading the first screenful of the comment, before scrolling down, and then go back and change my vote if it was really wrong.
(Could duplicate the buttons, at the top and bottom on long things?)
FWIW I often vote on posts at the top without scrolling because I listened to the post via the Nonlinear podcast library or read it on a platform that wasn’t logged in. Not all that important of a consideration, but worth being aware of.
