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.

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?

Sadly this is what life is like now if you spend any time online at all
Anonymity was a nice trend but everything is a lot more 60's political sci fi than 80's cyberpunk now

Hey now, those are actually kind of fun to watch. Good old spy thrillers are more interesting than some of the movies they have these days.

But, I suppose you're right. It is hard to be anonymous, isn't it? This has certainly made it much harder.

I was thinking more Fahrenheit 451
Or anything else written by a sci fi author who foresaw the internet and proactively complained about the kids using it

Oh, I haven't read that, but I think that I've heard of it at some point. There's so many works in English that I need to read one of these days.

People predicted this, though?
