Swipes vs Scrolls, war never ends

[u/RivitsekCrixus]

why swipe items in lists in android is so bad? we should be able to disable them system wide as frequently I activate unwanted commands as they have no confirmation and swiping happens when trying to scroll.

I am an Elder, and the Scrolls 📜 📜 📜 angle should be much bigger wider than for swipe actions as in the sketch.

Scrolling is a frequent non destructive action but swiping is a determined thought weighted option, they are too different to be so hard mixed.

Many swipes mean bad things like: delete, hide, archive etc that makes you waste time to undo or are impossible to undo like notifications...

We need at least confirmation popups to counter the chaos.

Swipe actions are trying to share space with the most common gesture in the app which is scrolling.

So people trigger destructive stuff accidentally while doing normal brain-off scrolling. Gets annoying ridiculously fast.
