Which buttons do you think theyll struggle with? Reply, bookmark, and share are very common icons and are also not labelled in the regular posts and have never caused an issue.

Only the tracking dropdown might spark an initial “huh?” which is reasonably easy learned after opening it once.

In general, I hear you, but Id like to wait and see what actual new users report, if anything, instead of going on speculation. Maybe we underestimate them 😉
