Description

### Problem I have

I find when I'm scrolling the timeline on a mobile device, tapping the small submenu items is difficult and imprecise,and the extra clicks to get to boosts, or especially having to dig into a profile to find a report button is frustrating.

### Solution I'd like

I'm wondering how complicated a UI enhancement option such as this pictured would be? Moving the interaction buttons out of a sub menu and under the profile picture of the poster, the common interaction buttons as well as muting, blocking, or reporting would be easier to get to,perhaps the boost\quote and block\report still subgrouped under the icons. Might also consider a toggle to move this bar from the left side to the right for the mobile interface to allow for right or left handedness.
For example, look at where your thumb rests when you're holding your phone in one hand.

I think this could take advantage of some the of the existing space in UI and make it easier to interact with on mobile devices.
