This is the third time that I am to witness a milestone. I first came here lost but I found friends and a family to keep me sane when real world isn't liveable. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the immeasurably valuable work you have done for our community, for bringing ideas, positive energy and a beautiful intensity to spread the goodness and love. This means by sharing your poems, arts, music, information and your golden presence just by being there for people who struggles, Everyone's ion is unparalleled. It's hard to come up with adequate words to let you all know how much your and love means to me. Thank you for working with us hand in hand, your dedication, selfless unique and individual ways is essential to the work that we do here and for so many lives by making a tangible difference. We couldn't achieve any of these without you guys. For my staff family, thank you for tirelessly helping guide the community, the desire to help and the desire to serve. I appreciate everyone of you and I'm happy I am part of our community. Congratulations for the 1.3 Million ! 🤍

ing this wonderful community a year and a half ago being in a place where I was a nobody this Amino has shaped me into the person I am today

Thank you to all the leaders, your work does not go unnoticed you all have your everyday lives and still devote some of your time in which you could use to rest to help the community become a safer and better place each day.

Thank you to all my fellow curators I know from experience what you all go through but just like the leaders you devote your time to making an amino a better and safer place each day so thank you.

Thank you to all the of the amino who actively spend their free time on our wonderful community its thanks to you the community is in the position it is today

Thank you to all the past staff ranging from past heads / leads of their given teams for paving the way for all the current staff if that was ing down the torch promoting a member to take your position or to work alongside you, it is truly appreciated to the who helped make the teams what they are today your work and efforts will never go unnoticed

Thank you to all the current staff you all dedicate your work every day if thats leadership curators editors welcoming journalists or featured you all work so hard every single one of you don't forget that

At this milestone there's 4 people I can't thank enough and that's Jenny Natalie Jay And Keith for giving me the opportunity to work as part of editor leadership you all saw the potential in me and its thanks to the community but more importantly the of Editors Allience who kept pushing me to become a better person.

Another insane milestone reached in just a matter of months, how awesome. A huge thanks to all of our s for continuing to bring so much life into our community daily and for allowing us to celebrate achievements just like this. Our community would not be what it is without you ing, participating in events, making incredible posts, solving riddles, doing your best to keep the place safe, and being friendly towards the hundreds of people in our chatrooms. Thank you all for choosing our community to be your second home and safe place, or for keeping it that way for those who need it. To many more milestones in the near future! 🥳 :tada:

Everyone, greetings! My name is Vivian, and I've been here for a year. Throughout those months, I saw the community grow and improve thanks to the efforts of many . I never imagined I'd be witnessing a milestone like this again.

I'd like to thank both new and old for helping us reach this milestone, but we're also grateful for your cooperation and sharing your through our posts and other chats.

Regarding the staff, thank you for working so hard to keep our community active, safe, and growing. It's a fantastic opportunity to the staff family and contribute to the growth of this community. We all did an excellent job!

In a simply put, thank you to everyone, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of this community. I wish our old, new, and future a wonderful milestone!

Hey lovelies!

Wow. To think that years ago, I was here able to celebrate 300,000 on our lovely amino. Only to see this number grow after so long. It's truly something remarkable that i don't take for advantage.

To think of everyone I've met on the journey here, all the stories I read, all the progress many of you have gotten to in your life, it's something out of this world.

When I think of "LGBT+ Amino" I don't really think of a social media app. I think of a community. A family. A family with each person having their own unique and important story. A family of 1.3 million people and more to come.

When I say thank you, I'm not thanking for the number, I'm thanking to be able to meet such incredible people. I'm thanking to be part of this experience. I'm thanking to be able to learn more and more about our community. I'm thanking for providing a home for many of us out there.

So yeah.. thank you, I love you guys.
