I removed the profile button link because I found it slightly annoying that opening that menu on mobile also navigates you to your profile, plus I think it’s unusual UX for the user menu button to also be a link.
We recently changed this back, so now both the timestamp and the link icon navigate you to the comment permalink. We’ll probably change the link icon to copy the link to your clipboard instead.
We didn’t change the criteria for whether the vote arrows appear at the bottom of a post—we still use the same threshold (post is >300 words) as LW does. We did move the vote arrows from the right side of the title to the left side of the title on the post page. This makes the post page header more visually consistent with the post list item, which also has the karma info on the left of the title.
