Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. 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. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. 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. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one.

Hello Retrospec users and employees. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to test your new system. Though I receive many offers of exclusive promotions, I'm happy to have made time out of my busy schedule to try this out. There are plenty of features I'm looking forward to giving a try!

For those of you patient enough to be reading this, I will most certainly be logging more of my daily thoughts here, and invite you all to stay tuned.

Thank you again,

Be a dear and give us a sneak preview of your thoughts. I, for one, am dying of anticipation.

I know you're probably all looking forward to Founder's Day or whatever. This isn't about that. I was walking home from school last night when I caught this on my camera. And before you say it's a tree branch or a weird shadow or something, IT'S NOT. It was moving, and it was FAST. This morning I heard that one of the neighbors' cats went missing. COINCIDENCE???

[true_noir]

What on earth is that? I've never seen anything like that before in my life. Are you sure that's not just some weird shadow?

[voideity]

[true_noir]

Oh, is this what this is for? I was wondering why it started installing itself the other day, but now I know. So, I guess that this is a chance for us to meet new people here in town?

Hi, I'm Chloe. It's nice to meet you all, if I haven't already. Are any of you making plans for Founder's Day?

[In reality, she was seriously weirded out by the app having installed onto her phone. But, she wasn't sure about trying to talk to the people who'd put it there. After all, it didn't seem to want to uninstall. Well, she might as well meet some new people.]

[twelfthspark]

Yup. You're part of an exclusive club now~

Except they just let anybody in. 😒 I mean did you see that guy trying to use it to google spy porn or something?? Gag.

[concern]

Dear Retrospec™ Employees, Representative, Attorneys and Related Parties,

While I am flattered at this invitation to use your specialty service, I do not know how to use social media appropriately. I am not sure if data collected from my participation will be of any benefit to you.

In that vein, please keep in mind that installing applications onto someone's phone without consent or notice is rather suspicious and a cause for alarm. I find this to be a questionable business practice, especially as I can't find a way to delete this app from my phone.

Please reply with an instruction manual for 1) social media best practices and 2) a removal guide. I prefer 2) to 1).

Sincerely,
Pearl Boneire

[catsudon]

forward me a copy if you get one please

[rhapsodeity]

well this is not creepy at all and definitely also not a thing taking up space on my phone that i could use :/
seeeeeeeeeeeeeeriously this has gone from annoying to flat out disturbing :(
why does it know my name????
what else does this have access to??? i dont like this app much at all

i also have tried every trick in the book to get rid of this short of giving my phone to people more able with techy stuff than i am because i do not want to bother them but now i am thinking i should just message them.......
ugh! this is so dumb
just delete yourself you stupid app!!!!!
i do not want you

COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN if i complain enough maybe the people running this shenanigan will see and remove me from their servers or whatever the heck!

[youraffection]

u dont want to be part of the great social networking phenomenon?
think about it in like 4 years youll get to tell ppl you were part of the ORIGINAL retrospect
retrospect beta

[hjack69]

this isnt gonna b like chatroulette right bc i dont need dudes jerkin off on my phone
u fuckers interrupted my candy crush

[doublesmall]

if it was like chatroulette you already would've seen like, five

but if the amount of internet clueless people and probable kids are anything to go off i think we're safe. relatively.

these r still funny right??

Yuuko Kanoe yosuke... you're five years behind ♥

[katsudonfatale]

Has anyone found a way to uninstall this app?

[true_noir]

No, not yet. I tried to stop it from downloading, but that didn't work, and it won't uninstall. I keep wondering if it's a virus or not. It's very strange.

[longwei2go]

okay who do i have to bribe to change my name on here

what slick microtransaction can i gamble my credit score safety on

if i cant delete the whole thing might as well let me pick a fucking name I WANT

[ at least the profile picture she's stuck with could be worse; what with her sticking her pierced tongue out and all. classy, Yin.

but having "Jinjing Sawyl Longwei" by every post is just a downer. ]

[beastenderblood]

Oh that's me, send me about $7 through paypal and I'll fix that right up.

[Vella Tartine, could you not.]

[heroforall]

Oh wow, this is really unexpected! I mean, I've been wondering what this app was since it showed up on my phone. But I've never been asked to test anything out before.

But I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Izuku Midoriya. It's nice to meet everyone. I hope we can all get along.

...Does anyone on here like superheroes?

[momentaryspring]

Aren't you in my class?

[daemonized]

I take it no one is bothered by the fact that there was a distinct lack of ToS; you know, that bit full of legal jargon that no one reads and immediately clicks "I accept" so they can move on to using their apps/games/emails/etc.?

No? Well. Can't possibly be suspicious at all; I see I'm not the first diving headlong into questionable, self-installing apps.

[metafaliure]

Every word in every text you make using this app is now legally property of its developer. Soon, you'll have to pay royalties every time you say anything.

[browbeater]

what's with the new trend in auto-downloading things? first it was that U2 album, then the other day i had like 90 podcasts saved in my phone, and now this...

anybody on here using an android? or is this just an apple problem?

[youraffection]

hey at least it was U2 right?
sorry tho iphone here

[flank]

How do I opt out of this? Isn't it an invasion of privacy to display my real name as my username?

[metafaliure]

Maybe if you legally change your given name you can get around it that way.

[strongestheart]

Do cutting edge algorithms also download stuff onto stranger's phones without asking? Posting on this thing better not give me anything weird...!

[Like her name already being filled in. That's, um. Alarming??? Actually she probably shouldn't even be posting her name to something so strange, but... eh.]

Uh, hi! I'm Maya, and I just want to know if there's anyone who knew anything about this or was asking for it...?

I mean! I'd love to meet new people and everything, that'd be really cool...! Just. It's a little creepy, isn't it?

[clear_eyes]

Maya - I assume you're the girl I spoke to the other night. This is Rachel.

This app clearly has access to our personal information and doesn't seem to have any qualms about sharing it without our permission. I apologize, but I may have been mistaken the other night.

[threnodeity]

It appears we're finally permitted to mingle within this virtual cyberspace. To truly make this a social media network, it'd require us to know each other, no? Throwing a mix of strangers in without a discernible pattern seems a poor formula for success.

My name is Rose Strider, as the username suggests. Shall we engage in a rush of conspiracy theories?

[onceandfuturemascot]

Phone security being worthless is a fact not a theory
Might or might not be a conspiracy
If it was sent to a random selection of people I guess it's for some kind of testing

[doublesmall]

oh, great, we all get this thing taking up space and a bunch of notifs from people complaining about it. lucky us.

what do you think this is, one of those "post a status or your account will be deleted" hoaxes in reverse??

[browbeater]

aren't you complaining too?

i hope this isn't about to become as much of a mess as fb. especially since i can't delete it.

[chiseler]

seriously this is the last thing I needed...
you know what I need? bartenders. waitresses. that kind of thing. talk to me if you qualify
also talk to me if you know how to delete the app or block it, this is creepy

[doublesmall]

good luck with that in the middle of this mess. decent help is hard to find when we're not collectively bitching.

Alice Penelope Drake is typing...

[onceandfuturemascot]

Hello out there in beta land I guess?
Oh good it pulled my full name off my phone without asking
Glad to see everyone is as ethical as facebook now
And that everyone knows my middle name
I guess its fine if its a closed beta...

[true_noir]

Ugh, facebook. Don't remind me about that. I wasted a month of my life playing some farm thing there. But it really doesn't seem very secure, and very invasive, doesn't it?

Gentiana Illyria said...

[glacian]

This is quite...invasive.

Must we join? Seems to be quite a few who wish to opt-out of this kind of social media.

[quaria]

I have gone through multiple attempts of ridding of this, but I have not found a solution. It seems the others have tried as well, to no avail.

I am hoping that this is merely a bug. For the meantime, all we can do is to be careful of our usage.

Is this app apart of the new update? Is there anyway to delete the app or is it like the health app you can't delete from your phone? In the meanwhile, testing with some important news.

[rhapsodeity]

oh my god
that is incredibly important news
that poor kitty cat!!!!!
they should let him shop!
why arent they letting him shop :(

[mikodere]

Mikoto Mikoshiba shared a photo. 2/1 near Recolle

Hey guys! I know this app is pretty weird and the conspiracy theorist in me still wonders if it's some malicious software or whatever. But take a look at how majestic my cat looks?? She's the best girl anyone could ever have. also, how do you change your age on here? JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, I AM NOT 12 YEARS OLD!

[borntoolate]

Aww~!
What a cutie!

[orbweaver]

Great, great. This thing isn’t useless anymore. What a drastic improvement.

I’m by myself & in dire need of vital supplies. If anyone wants to make a quick buck, fetch me the following:

- 1 Crest whitening, mint toothpaste
- 1 bottle of black nail polish
- 2 bottles of Nyquil

Deliver the goods to Styx @ Tisse. I pay cash. And because I observe even the most foolish of cultural traditions, I also tip.

You want directions? Google them. Besides a picture of the alleyway exterior, there’s even a 360 degree view of our tattoo shop. If you’re ever in the mood for making a quality decision that you’ll definitely never regret, like inking your boyfriend’s name on your boob or a picture of your favorite celebrity on your arm, come and check us out.
