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.

Facebook didn't get to where it is today by not reaching out to as many people as possible, though. Or by failing to do anything else on the checklist of "things I will do to make my business successful." Whatever the purpose of something like this is, you still have to put a lot in if it's going to work out. Right?

[browbeater]

well yes

but also, still don't know if i'd call any social media self-respecting

[rosettareflected]

They respect their own money and desire to make more of it. I'll call that close enough, I suppose.

The continued lack of a license agreement and privacy policy is more concerning, of course, but even that has possible - if unlikely - explanations.

[browbeater]

ok i'll bite

what's your explanation for the lack of a basic privacy and licensing agreement?

[rosettareflected]

I admit that most of my ideas are just that - not terribly well-developed. Perhaps a bug in the app is keeping us from seeing them, or perhaps they're being delivered by e-mail or even physical mail... given our full names were already populated, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume the developer could have other information.

[browbeater]

annnnnd that alone doesn't concern you about your privacy?

[rosettareflected]

But it was already populated, so what would I even do about it? It concerns me, yes, but it's not something I have control over. I'm not going to do anything proprietary on here without either a clue of what's going on or a reassurance my data is safe enough, but public knowledge is silly to try and safeguard.
