Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice. Upon opening this entry at all, characters will find themselves spammed with notifications and strange glitched texts until they make some sort of suggestion for a new application feature on the Retrospec app. This can range from a personalized friends list to a watermelon image gallery to a watergun charging station. It doesn't have to make sense or be useful - it just has to be a suggestion, at which point the application will return to normal.

My only suggestions are upgrading your security and try to fix these strange glitches.

I hate to go against this app, but I'm worried about your services since there might be a high risk on the younger users' safety. Just please try to increase your security when it comes to these type of users.

[killyoubastards]

Yeah!! As a younger user, I'm super worried about my safety!!! I should totally sue, right?

[megabond]

I doubt you can even contact these people... But I hope my suggestion would reach out not only the younger users but also people who need their privacy.

By the way, are you new here?

[killyoubastards]

Yep! I just got this app installed today. But it looks pretty sketchy, so maybe I should just delete it?

[megabond]

I'm afraid that's impossible. I tried several times when I got this app, but it seems to have a mind of its own.

[killyoubastards]

???

Like, they made it so it can't be deleted? Is that even legal?

[megabond]

I doubt it. Also, whenever I mention this app to my colleagues, they just told me Retrospec doesn't exist.

Not to mention it didn't show in my purchase history in the App Store.

[killyoubastards]

That's super weird... maybe it's a virus? or a scam?

they're not going to start billing us for lots of money or something, right?

[megabond]

I'm not sure, but so far, the app is completely free to use.

[killyoubastards]

oh...
that's good, at least.

You've had this thing for a while, right? Anything else I should worry about, besides the whole "total invasion of privacy" thing?

[megabond]

Well, I'm not exactly an expert on this, but I've been using this app ever since its launch one month ago.

What I know so far is that you seem to use this app anywhere with internet. And to my surprise, we can use this without any Wi-Fi or data at all.

[The last part was actually an accidental discovery when he accidentally put his phone on airplane mode while replying to some posts the other day.]

But my main concern is that we can't change our username. Which means we're stuck with our real names for now.

[killyoubastards]

It works without wifi or anything? um... is that some kind of new technology?

[Anise doesn't exactly keep up with the latest in tech news, or anything... but it still seems pretty improbable.]

[megabond]

I doubt there is such thing as a social media app that doesn't require Wi-Fi or an app that can spontaneously be used anywhere.

[killyoubastards]

that's what I thought...
like, even if there was, it probably wouldn't work on my crappy old phone.

are you sure you're not just like, mistaken about that?

[megabond]

I thought I was, that is until I tested it several times with the flight mode on. It seems that the app will stay connected even with the Wi-Fi turned off.

It's somehow useful, yet worrying at the same time.

[killyoubastards]

hmmm.
Maybe there's like, some super nerd genius who can figure out why it works like that?

[megabond]

A genius hacker? I think you might watched too much TV there...

Besides, even if there is such thing right here in Retrospec, I doubt it's possible.

[killyoubastards]

Why not? it's not like it works on magic, right?

if someone was smart enough to design it all weird, then somebody else could be smart enough to figure out what the weirdo designer did!

[megabond]

[While the features on this app might be near impossible, she has a point about it.]

I see... Well, I might try to make a post on looking for a user that might help us figure out this app's internal mysteries.

Hayato Privitera stupid, kids can't sue.
Hayato Privitera and announcing that you're young isn't very smart.

[killyoubastards]

Anise Tatlin who are you calling stupid???
Anise Tatlin and what's so bad about that?

[59]

Hayato Privitera i commented on your post, didn't i? or are you too young to read properly?

didn't anyone tell you there are fucking weirdos on the internet?

[killyoubastards]

Anise Tatlin boooo. of course I know there are weirdos around!
Anise Tatlin but it's not like my age is anything people can't already figure out, with all the info this app gives out.

[59]

Hayato Privitera that should be even more of a reason to not draw attention to it. if you bring it up, people who might otherwise not be assed to creep around might actually look into it
Hayato Privitera but if you're already an internet pro then what's it to me?

[killyoubastards]

Anise Tatlin you're being a total jerk about it, so it's hard to tell, but...
Anise Tatlin are you worried about me?
