i think skycastle is a great concept. it helps focus liquidity. cabal-ing becomes somewhat more public and transparent. and there are clearly some very strong and solid names backing this project. for all these reasons, i've bought some $SKY - both on my fc and non-doxxed wallets. that said, i'd be remiss in not mentioning my disappointment in the lack of diversity in the partner network. forgive me if i'm mistaken here, but as far as i can tell, Debbie is either among - or the only - woman on this Partner list. if the expertise offered by this group is "strategy, PMF, product build, comms, GTM, brand, UX, and tokenomics" then i can assure you there are plenty of bright, experienced women on base and farcaster who fit the mold. i could tag some of them here but the list would honestly be too long. i also wanna be really clear - i personally know a lot of the people associated with skycastle to be terrific, bright and inclusive individuals. so this isn't run-of-the-mill FUD aimed to tear them down. i just think the optics here matters. and i'm not sure if it was intentional or an oversight, but either way i'm disappointed that a project with so much promise and visibility missed the opportunity to set a stronger example on diversity and representation. especially given how central inclusivity is to building long-lasting communities.

I can't spot any lies here 🫡 I would have happily said yes to something like this but never heard of it until today. I agree with literally everything you typed here 🫂🤍

I thought the same thing when I was scanning the list of partners. Here’s hoping they do a better job rounding out the council.

This is actually one reason I love farcaster. It feels like a much more inclusive group than most other places, even if that's just because I've curated that for my feed. But I also think that calling it out here will get it some productive attention, whereas anywhere else any pushback might just get shouted down by aggressively agro degen-bros.
