Update: This has now been pushed to the live site. For now, on Desktop, strong upvotes require click-and-hold. Mobile users just tap multiple times. This is most likely a temporary solution as we get some feedback about how the respective modes work under realistic conditions.
It’s likely there’ll be a few kinks to work out. Let us know if issues come up.
I use LW on both desktop and mobile and sometimes get confused between the gestures, so I think adding double-click as an option on desktop would make it slightly easier to use.
Hmm, I am worried that tons of people have now built desktop-specific habits on how they deal with voting that this would upset quite a bit (probably including me). But I will think about it.
That was the originally reason we made it a long-click. If it had been easier to setup long clicks on mobile we’d probably have just used it there too. (unfortunately long-click has conflicting purposes on mobile)

It also occurs to me that it makes strong-upvoting too easy for my taste, nearly as easy as regular voting.
