I would also like to raise awareness surrounding @JoaoKury having less than 20 minutes of read time on the forum here & joining three days ago with zero participation prior to this.
There has been close to zero value added to the ecosystem by this individual.
Are we seeing seed latam attempt an early sybil attack on rpgf round 3 ?
@Carlosjmelgar brings up many great points in the decision making process from what has been witnessed so far here in the forums.
As you can see here there is no mention about Optimism network on the feed of the Modular Crypto page other than a recent post about this nomination. Showing little to no impact when spreading awareness about the optimism ecosystem.
Besides having less than 1000 followers the account was created in May of 2023 this year which does not help display any sort of track record related to impact longer than a few months on social media.
I wanted to double check that is the case and so I searched the term “optimism” and see less than a handful of posts related to the topic.
In fact there are zero posts created first hand by the Crypto Modular account about the Optimism ecosystem and I see anything that is related to the network is just reposted from another page.
The alignment of this individual with the Optimism ecosystem seems off to me.
Showing very low effort when it comes to sharing the vision of the optimism collective with others doesn’t make this the only red flag 
that I found.
There is ZERO Onchain history about voting 
on proposals on OP from this team or individual that can easily be found on their accounts. Showing a track record of participation in the ecosystem of optimism governance would help significantly to understand the reasoning behind the selection of this badge holder. It’s tough to tell what someone’s values are when you can’t see their voting history within the ecosystem. Are they an important delegate that holds a significant amount of voting power in the form of OP token ?
Please 
explain why this decision was made.
Another way to create impact in a transparent manner is by showing your support to the optimism network by directly contributing to the Retropgf.eth address.
If there is some significant impact being made by the individual onchain there is no denying that evidence. Until there is some actual proof of impact being made in the OP ecosystem I would hold off on selecting your peers over those who have gained the much needed experience in the ecosystem that will help guide the rest of the collective in the right direction.
