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.

what do you feel is odd about it? the same formats will only gather the same information; maybe there's something to be learned from cat memes and text smilies? and slang and chatspeak and all that great stuff that comes with learning a new language! assimilation comes quickly with immersion!

I mean the way in which the app was delivered. I suppose my reasoning is being disproved (and is potentially hypocritical), but it's a pretty big risk to collect data via a suspicious app that can't be uninstalled.

There was a relatively big chance that people would ignore its social media platform feature altogether in favor of keeping their data secure.
