Mistakes happen. It almost did with me today when I went to post, clicked accidently, and was asked if I wanted to destroy the community I've spent months building. Who thought it was smart UI design to put these 2 options side by side?

Same one who made Hawaii's missile warning system.

Let's hope this doesn't happen to someone when that person is shaky (trembling hands) !
... this deserves to be tested, like :
1- creating a dummy community then,
2- click on this delete Community button and go through with it just to see if there is ...
3- an option to repair the damage and go back.

I also like having the edit post choice right next to the delete post choice, especially since there's no confirmation dialogue when selecting delete post.

I’d suggest using an alternative UI. They’re almost all better than the original.
