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.

well that depends
i am not very knowledgeable about tracking on the internet...
maybe dirk will show up and explain for me lol
but the way i understand iiiiiiiiiis...
its mostly about selling you things!
so for example if i google astronomy, i will be shown things related to space
it seems pretty innocuous for the most part
in this case, an application downloaded itself to my phone without warning or permission and it knows my full name
and of course, there is this incredibly creepy message!
"last social media network you will ever need."
what does that even mean????

ok well
yea thats worded in a super creepy way
i guess i was kinda excited at being able to link all the different networks in one place you know??
like isnt that the direction its all going anyway
companies all buying each other out
i mean wouldnt it be illegal for something to get autodownloaded that would be honestly dangerous?
theres gotta be rules about that
privacy stuff
right?
ok shit now im kind of worried
