View submission: Announcing a new mobile Mod Queue
Native gestures and interactions: Swiftly approve content with a right swipe or remove it with a left swipe. Additionally, long-press on content to reveal a comprehensive menu of actions.
Not a fan (to say the least) of replacing buttons with gestures and hiding basic buttons in a sub menu.
Easier comment removal: Remove comments more quickly without providing a removal reason.
That's nice!
...but it would be really great if this was made into a selectable option and of course extended to posts as well. Let us choose if we wish to be shown the removal reasons prompt or not!

Here just to chime in, swipe actions are *way* too error prone. Actions that matter, such as removals and approvals, should never be tied to swipes.
I will not use this interface if swipes will be tied to mod actions.
What's especially terrible is when swipes can do different things within the same interface. For example, swiping on a comment will approve/delete, but missing that interface element by a hair will move between different views (which is the current action tied to swiping).

Agreed - not a fan of hidden swipe actions. Is the action for each direction configurable? If not, is it true that all cultures and languages align with 'right' = approve / 'left' = reject? What about left handed users?
Will the action/direction be shown to reduce memory overload (#6[1]). Will there be Undo?

I will miss buttons too. I'm worried I'm going to accidentally remove something and have to try and find it again if I had chance to see what it was. ~~There's no removed queue in app only the mod log so it's possible but perhaps slower.~~
