It’s fairly recent, mostly from people doing a code audit, and possibly emboldened by the upcoming Lemmy 1.0. See e.g. https://lemmy.ml/post/42339089/23619001.
Ngl Mbin is kinda awesome, but mainly only if someone wants to browse both Mastodon and the Threadiverse from the same account. It’s better imho for e.g. long-titled news articles but not as good for e.g. memes.
I hope I’m not furthering the divide OP mentioned further more than being helpful but it’s true so I’ll say it: I only joined Kbin.social at first due to the off-putting connection between the Lemmy sourcecode and the tankie devs, but now PieFed provides a cleaner option for that.
I’ve never noticed it that extreme - perhaps I’ve just blocked the right people - but I always saw it more like this:

Personally I believe such criticisms will only strengthen the code by polishing some of its roughest spots, increasing transparency by exposing additional configuration options and the like. The PieFed devs are actively soliciting such genuine feedback - see e.g. https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1660885/we-re-here-to-answer-any-questions-you-have-about-piefed-s-code.
I need to set myself up an Mbin account again (I was once on Kbin).
