Can I get rating refunded
Obviously mistake I was on my phone moved to scroll through the board
AFAIK Lichess doesn't generally refund mouseslips and missclics: this would be a little bit strange, since in tournament chess no type of accidental piece miscplacement that does not violate the rules can be taken back; in fact, Lichess is quite liberal since it allows us to touch (ie. click) one piece, then move another; furthermore, one can always request a takeback.
You aren't an only victim of this: I play from a phone and ~5% of my lost games are from missclicks.
Finally, I would remark that a missclick/mouseslip is basically improvable (although some of the moves are hard to explain with anything else)

He turned off takebacks😭
Well then, what can I say... such things happen . Of course they are unpleasant when affecting ourselves but they are also impossible to fight with (and kinda fair taking standard tournament rules under consideration)
Better luck next time :)

Mouse slips happen from time to time, I don't like to play in my phone or even my tablet because I feel like a fish out of water and I commit a lot of "hand-slips?", nonetheless I guess you can't never be 100% sure wether something was a slip and not a horrible blunder. It can be frustrating when you are crushing the other guy and you mess things up, but moving with precision is just another skill that you need in chess and which comes with practice, especially in short time controls.
I have seen that a lot of people would talk about mistakes outside of the abstract situation of the pieces on the board almost as something alien. But I think chess is holistic, and mistakes can be commited in each aspect of the game, from mismanagment of the time of the clock, to mouse-slips, to not being able to concentrate... and some times one of those mistakes which come out of the fact of human subjectivity can be as dangerous as a horrible blunder on the board.
Hope that makes sense, @howchessYT

You can turn on move confirmations I believe.
You win a pawn then give it back for nothing. Come on dude...
That looks more like a blunder than a misclick to me. The rook wasn't even close to c6 if that's what you were aiming for. I turned takeback off when people started claiming evident blunders as misclicks. A misclick is when the piece is put on a ridiculous square next to where it should have gone imho, such as king moving to rook when castling would have been much more logical.
