Piefed is cool! Lemmy is too! What's not cool? Infighting, it drives away new users. Unfortunately this seems a common sentiment...

does it happen both ways though?
Like one example is https://jeena.net/lemmy-switch-to-piefed - that's the irl experiences of an actual dev trying out both. That's not "Lemmy hate" to simply report on what this new instance admin actually encountered?
Or there's the account of slrpnk announcing its upcoming switch from Lemmy to PieFed - this is even an established, experienced admin team giving up on bugs in Lemmy and moving to PieFed that is easier to maintain. About those long-standing bugs, the admin says "I have reported the issue multiple times and I am not the only one with the problem since many years..."
How is this hatred of Lemmy's entire existence, as in not merely preferring one software over th other for one's own sake, vs. expressions wishing that the other software did not even so much as exist, as we see in several of those posts (and comments therein) that Blaze has shared in his post?
Yes there disagreements about the tankie devs and how they misuse funds, taking away from further software development in order to run their heavily politically charged and controversial instance (where based on the amount of moderation work going on, seems to consume a great deal of time and effort), without offering much in the way of choices to fund exclusively the software itself alone. But those are "concerns", not actively wishing that the other software platform did not exist?
Neither software is perfect, but the only active hatred I've seen is towards the PieFed side.
