🎂 Happy Micro.blogiversary to me! I joined & made my first post a year ago. I started drafting a post about the past year a week-plus ago, but it’s not ready yet (and may never be), so in short: it has been good, for my blogging/writing and for my mind, & I have 400 new friends.

@smokey it’s been a heck of a year! So glad you are you, and you are here!

@smokey Congrats! The community is richer thanks to your presence.

@smokey 🎂!!!! You help make the community great!

@smokey You are a pioneer! Congratulations from us latecomer to the party. Happy to see it's been a good year. Many more to you. :)

@smokey Congrats, you got me beat by a couple of weeks.

@smokey Happy blogiversary indeed! You are a very valued member of this community.

@smokey Felicitations, Smokey! Getting to know you over the last year has been an absolute delight.

@smokey Thanks for all your positive contributions, Smokey, and your unerring insight. I'm so glad you saved the link to Jack's key posting nearly a year ago. Looking back, it's easy to see now, that Jack had already answered the question of what to call people on Micro.blog (users, bloggers, microbloggers, micronauts, and so on). Obviously the best word is 'friends.'

@smokey Awesome! Here's to many many more years!🍾

@smokey It's wonderful that you're here. Congrats on the anniversary!

@smokey 🎉🎉🎉

@smokey Happy Anniversary. We're glad you are here.

@smokey thanks for gracing my timeline! Congrats on the milestone 🎉

@smokey Many happy returns!

@smokey Oh, awesome! Onwards. 💪🏻

@smokey So glad to have you as a part of the community Smokey. Your posts and replies are always thoughful, inspiring. Thank you! :)

@smokey Thank-you everyone for all the kind words and good wishes. I’m glad I’m here, and I’m glad you’re all here, too, making this community such a great space to be a part of, to meet new people, make new friends, and learn new things. Excelsior!

@Ron As I mentioned to Jack the other day, that article of his so very early on made such a profound impression on me and became a stand-out example of Manton’s humanizing decisions and vision driving Micro.blog that it has remained in my mind, and I have referred and linked to it often. :-)

@smokey I have only been here for a three months, but can feel the joy and goodness that you speak of already. Congratulations on your anniversary and thank you for your presence and contribution to the platform. 🙏🏻

@crossingthethreshold Thank you. Glad to have you with us, too, David.

@smokey Happy Micro.blogiversary to you. Reading this thread makes me very happy to be here. You have had a great deal to do with tone of my micro.blog world. 🙏

@smokey Congrats! Glad to have found you almost immediately after I signed up for Micro.blog, you've been a constant source of great posts.

@smokey Congrats on one year! (And lucky us!)

@johnjohnston Wow. That’s high praise; thank you 🙏
