I don't do micro blogging either so I don't follow any of that. I'm definitely new to piefed so I haven't touched a lot of the settings yet. I will say the creation of my account got caught in a very small window of a code bug and I couldn't comment at first. I reached out to my instance owner who reached out to Rimu, the guy who basically does the coding for piefed and he fixed the code across all piefed within a few minutes and my instance update a few minutes later.
From complaint to solution was about an hour and a half and I was completely impressed!
