FAQ

1. Where can I get the rekudos converter?

Go here, click green button

1.5 Where can I get the comment assist version?

Go here, click green button

2. That did nothing?

Go here, install Tampermonkey, then go back and click green button

3. The script is really unreliable >:(

Yeah 😩 I’m a dumdum, I haven’t yet figured out how to get the kudos information on my own time, so currently it has to wait for the web page to load the information for me.

If you’re getting long delays or needing to double-click the button a lot, you can check the delay by opening console with CTRL+SHIFT+K and looking at how long “kudos.js” takes to execute. I’ve settled on 500 as something that worked for me 95% of the time, but your internet may be slower than mine.

4. Is there a mobile version?

As of June 2023, YES!! Tampermonkey is now available for base Mobile Firefox! Instead of having to install it from the store, you just open the “Extensions” menu on mobile and click on the plus sign! After that, everything else here works exactly the same way as it does on desktop. You can also go to the Greasyfork page, and copy the source-code into a new script manually :D

There is also the extension version, but that is officially abandoned now. Get Firefox, and Tampermonkey, and make your life easier.

5. What about Chrome?

Don’t use Chrome. (Although Tampermonkey is available for it as well.)

6. I don’t want to spam people :(

You can only rekudos once a day, and if you have auto-mode off, you can always delete the pregenerated comment and leave your own! Trust me, there’s no such thing as too many comments.

7. Just commenting “kudos” is not very useful feedback.

don’t I fucking know it go read my reply here and don’t use the script as a substitute for writing your own comment.

8. Something else

I have a query page on DW. It’s the best way to get in contact with me, although I will reply to reblogs and asks also.

okay here's what you're gonna do. you're gonna read the post saying "I do not believe in any god or higher power or spiritual plane." you're not gonna respond "actually there's god in everything if you just open your mind, there's god when I cook for my friends ❤️" or "yikes! what a sad way to see the world 😨" or "lol I assume the 'not' is a typo #religion tag" or anything involving the word "reddit." you are allowed to think those things! if you want! but ONLY as long as you follow the crucial last step: Continue Scrolling. you do not have to rebuke every post you see that expresses an idea that is counter to your belief system, and you do not need to make it your mission to "correct" people when they say they don't believe in any spirituality. this is what is generally referred to as "freedom of religion."

Wild how people can openly say "a show/book/movie etc including a character from a specific country or mentioning that county at all is propaganda" and "media shouldn't be normalizing specific nationalities" and their posts will get thousands of notes agreeing as if that isn't some of the most blatant and hateful xenophobia imaginable.

[tired-fandom-ndn]

I think we need to start putting the word propaganda on a shelf because I'm seeing people call The Pitt and Heated Rivalry propaganda and we need to just. Stop.

[tired-fandom-ndn]

"Heated Rivalry is propaganda because the main character is Russian!" Yes, because the Russian government loves nothing more than tv shows with graphic gay sex and queer Russian characters struggling with their country's violent homophobia. Definitely sounds like propaganda to me.

another reason this is the only social media site i give a fuck to actually use is because you're allowed to add links to text instead of just having to paste a url into the body of your post like some kind of caveman.

Witch Hat Atelier is a wonderful manga/anime that explores the intersection of technology/knowledge/education and accessibility/privilege/inequality, so NATURALLY you see takes like "why does the impoverished child run back to a half-submerged carriage to try to save the tool his dad uses to earn money, is he stupid"

[quetzalpapalotl]

Pleaaaaase tell me all about how you think that character who is canonically a top should actually bottom because he's pathetic, a completely neutral statement that doesn't betray any notions about sex whatsoever.

I don't think I'd be so annoyed by the various media with the premise "The Man wants to control what art people can make, and this made the world Sad and Gray, but we can fix it by adding Color and Music" if literally any of them had anything to say about the *actual* method by which the people with power control what art does and doesn't get made (IP law, publishing, and curation) instead of just having a Fisher Price Department of Wrongthink that arrests/kills you if you play anything other than the One Approved Genre Of Music or paint a dog without a license.

[stylish-suidae]

Like there's definitely something interesting to say here, but none of them have aspirations to have any greater message than "artists most important people on earth, say artists."

People mock STEM majors for dismissing all humanities as worthless frivolities but this is literally just the same shit. "MY discipline is the most important one that can solve all the world's problems" is just incorrect no matter what discipline it is that's saying it.

movie where the world is sad and gray because IP law prevents art of any kind from being available anywhere without paying exorbitant fees and the protagonists heroically commit copyright infringement to bring art back to the world

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

always use qbittorrent, do not use bitorrent or utorrent.

Does anyone know the way to avoid your ISP threatening you for seeding torrents... do VPNs truly work... I think a lot of people still torrent (even young ppl) but the fact that ISPs like threaten to throttle your service or otherwise punish you for seeding stresses me out to where I do it a lot less and tend to look for plain files. And I feel bad when I download without seeding lol

I'll look it up on my own but maybe its good to add to the thread

[giritina]

Here's a response from an anon:

hey i saw your questions in the notes of the torrenting post and id like to let you know that YES they do indeed work, even if you use a vpn that remains within the us (i don't personally recommend this though). the gist of what a vpn does is it makes your IP address put on a disguise before it goes out into the world wide web and sends/receives data. since your ISP doesn't recognize the IP address as you, and therefore someone they're liable for damages caused by said address, it doesn't care what happens under it. there's also a torrenting guide on fmhy(dot)net :) happy sailing!

Everyone has an accent it came free with your language 🙄

[audliminal]

Congrats to every reply like this for failing to understand the fundamental definition of an accent. Of course you think you sound normal! It's the way you speak!

[salarta]

Gonna sign language at you in a very southern accent

[inthewaytoamultilinguallife]

Sign languages also comes with accents, you can easily watch people sign and tell the difference

You get different sign language accents, you get regional accents, and you even get "second language speaker accent"
