Shouldn’t the “Yes, abandon” button be in red/ the danger colour?

Yeah, that makes sense. This is an excellent #starter-task::tag for anyone looking for a gentle start!

While we’re at it: I also think that the “Select Posts…” button could use a different colour because it refers to a different object than all the other buttons (posts rather than topic). I would suggest blue/ tertiary.
