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.

How can you write words without thinking about them? Isn't that the entire point of writing them in the first place?

[gemgineer]

no no no!
not in the twitterverse!
if you overthink it, you'll just come across as pretentious.
your posts should just sound like something you'd say, but typed out instead of spoken!
though i guess you can livestream yourself saying something instead...

Video might be a more effortless way of communicating, but it seems so vain, and also impractical for the purpose of record keeping.

Stream of conscious posting sounds ridiculous and illogical, but when in Rome, I suppose. I am seeing a lot of social media postings about eating food and asinine thoughts.

with this new app you'll get to see pictures of cats and food and what someone what thinking while going to the bathroom
ALL THE TIME
embrace iiiiiit

I absolutely DO NOT want to think about anyone online posting something while going to the bathroom of all things.

Do people do this often? Defecate and urinate while talking to others online?

( IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, IS THAT WHAT EVERYONE IS DOING RIGHT NOW?? )

look i hate to break it to you
but about half the posts you're reading probably took place on the toilet
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
people do a lot of thinking while on there, it's only natural
