Solana dev community is a little discouraging RN. Everyone is out for their own aims, veiling it thinly under the guise of "decentralizing". Feels like a few people don't like each other. Sucks to want to build something cool and be told, "we are allowed to build. You aren't" 🧵

Just FYI, @metaplex takes no fees. We don’t keep money for arweave uploads. We pay for everything. Any fees you pay are for Solana transaction fees, and Solana accounts rent. We make 0 money on nfts you mint and our products are completely open source.

On Ethereum every “creator” developer can make nfts programmable. The entire interface model supports this. If you are critical of mip-2 . Know that we are trying to bring this level of fun to solana. At the base level and even in a way that less technical people can use too.

Solana would literally be at $500 now if people would stop sending money to random wallets for a presale. You know with Metaplex hydra you can setup pools that distribute tokens based on ownership of other tokens or nfts. There is no need to yolo money. “Say no”

The leave/don't leave argument furthers a narrative that only stalwart devs will stay in this turbulent time. The facts are that if you want a Dapp to settle super fast, with low fees, its Solana and maybe the cosmos. We live in a multichain world, its a good thing.
