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. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

Well, you can still get to know people. As long as it isn't anonymous, of course.

Although I guess it doesn't matter in this case, since in this case we *do* have all our real names and faces displayed.

Mm, that's kind of the problem with this structure. What's the point if we all know each other's names and faces? It takes some of the steps out of meeting people, and adds some danger in its own way. What if I don't want people to know who I am? I don't have that option as soon as I'm on this network.

Well, look on the bright side. We all know who everyone else is, too, so at least you won't have to deal with people bothering you anonymously.

[rosettareflected]

That is a benefit, I suppose. I'm not sure how much help it will be, but it is indeed a tool I have access to.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...I think that's about the faintest praise I've ever seen.

Not that I think that's inappropriate, of course.

[rosettareflected]

Faint praise for a deserving subject. It's kind of a design flaw, but it has its uses.

It's one more to throw on the heap, at least. General reception seems to be pretty bad.

I believe the phrase is "it's not a bug, it's a feature." Which applies to the entire app in this case.
