A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #783,312, Alfred Buns 🇿🇼🇿🇦 ‪@alfy2510.bsky.social‬, joined on Aug 30, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #783,312!😍

Beautiful ❤️

It’s okay if you’re still learning who you are. It’s okay if you’re currently unlearning and re-learning patterns. It’s okay if something doesn’t go as planned for you. It’s okay if you stumble. It’s okay! Don’t quit— continue being that courageous soul.✨🫶🏿

Your Higher Self is saying to you today:

Remain humble and open minded. Today’s learning lesson may appear as a conflict, however, receive what comes your way with flexibility and grace so you may find purpose in the chaos.✨🫶🏿

Feeling grateful for the Bluesky team 💙 what a bunch of caring nerds

Never mistreat your man simply because you have a number of men who wants you(sweetors). You might be attractive for fun but not for keeping.

Why is it that ruthless dictators like the self imposed Coup president of Zimbabwe Mnangagwa get away with their evil deeds & the world doesn't give attention to that? The cries of Zimbabwean citizens have no one to listen to, yet some ANC members (Ramaphosa, Fikile Mbalula) of SA support such evil?

If God says it, I believe it, and that settles it all. Simple. Timely greetings to @all🙏

Dear the World, this is the man that is destroying Zimbabwe and its citizens. The master of corruption, violence and torture.

The looting is now a new normal in Zimbabwe. We have a cabinet that is filled with the family of the self appointed president. If we don't get any news of thievery for a single day, then that would be the greatest miracle. Yet still, we look forward to an expected change soon. #Godisinit🙏

This legend looks like a future politician 😂

Happy first day of #fall! 🐿️🍂🪵

During this season, squirrels and chipmunks store nuts for their winter hibernation.

You may speak your mind but, freedom after speaking is not guaranteed. I pray that in our lifetime we will witness a free Zimbabwe.

Beautiful! But, is it safe though 🤔

This man is Job Sikhala. He is a victim of unfortunacy. The power hungry Mnangagwa is trying to break him. He is languishing in prison and a dozen times, denied bail. Cry beloved Zimbabwe.

The greatest discoveries often lie beyond the borders of comfort.🤔

No, DMs are definitely possible and something we’re planning on doing. Just not prioritized right now.

And this concludes our social experiment. Thank you for your participation.

We still have a lot of work cut out for us, but we’re excited to push towards establishing an open, user-centric social network as a foundation for public conversation for years to come.

In January, the Bluesky app began with a few hundred users. We’ve since grown past 1 million. I’m proud of what our team has accomplished in the last 9 months: we’ve open sourced the protocol and app, introduced self-verification via custom domains, and enabled algorithmic choice with custom feeds.

Wangu, usavadero🤣
