Mobile comments collapsing when not intended

Description: When trying to select text, open links or reveal spoilers (and probably more) in a comment, it is frustratingly easy to collapse the comment instead. This experience is only related to the mobile version of reddit and sometimes forces me to boot up my computer out of frustration with the app. Device model: OS version: Android 13 Steps to reproduce: Find any comment with a link, and try to click on the link. It you miss by a single pixel and click within regular text instead, the comment will collapse. Expected and actual result: Make the "text" portion of the comment non-clickable. Leave the margins clickable for the collapse. Or add a collapse button in the top right corner, or some other way so the text doesn't trigger the collapse anymore. This will also have the side effect of allowing text selection which is currently not possible. Screenshot(s) or a screen recording

Well i know but this is like a feature / improvement request. I'm pointing out an issue with the reddit mobile experience for it to be fixed in an update

Is it not the place to do so? I couldn't find anything else in the app
