  1. When you accidentally pressed Hard, what did you mean to press instead?
  2. How long has this been going on (days, weeks, # of reviews)?
  3. Are you using the default algorithm (SM-2) or did you enable FSRS?

though this particular deck being ruined doesn't actually affect me I kinda want to know what to do in a situation where it would

FSRS has no ease factor

#

you'll most likely be fine

oH! awesome!

#

didnt know about that in FSRS

#

i just was told by a large part of the JP learning community to never press easy/hard or it would ruin ease factor

#

the more you know though! tyvm :3

#

That advice makes no sense anyway

#

even with SM2

#

no, but it got very little to do with Hard, and nothing with Easy

#

It's just that in SM2, a card never recovery Ease, except when pressing Easy, which you almost never do

#

oooooooooooooh

#

So if you fail a card often enough, it can get stuck in permanently short review hell

feral tundra
#

but like

#

if i have an old ddeck in SM2 and switch to FSRS, will it fix the ease?

valid mango
#

yes, FSRS does not care about it whatsoever

#

FSRS requires you to always answers truthfully though

#

Hard instead of Good doesn't matter

#

but if you failed a card but then press Hard, that's bad

#

If that happend like once or twice it's nothing I'd stress about though

feral tundra
#

yeah i'd answer Hard as a "good but with difficulties"

#

but my post was related to missclicking in keyboard 3 as 4

valid mango
#

That's not a big deal really

feral tundra
#

which, well, didnt do any harm as well anyways lmfao

#

just explaining

valid mango
#

those few cards will just show up a bit earlier
