"state" is a social networking service where you can only post about how you are currently spending your time. On the "state" timeline, only the latest post, or "state" of a user is displayed. The character limit is 100, making for minimal information sharing. You can't retweet others' posts, but you can Like them. However, neither the number of Likes nor followers is shown. You'll subtly know if someone has viewed or Liked your post through slight animations in the timeline background. Only landscape photos can be posted. You can use photos to show how you are spending your time, but you can't go overboard in making them look beautiful. At "state" measures are taken to enjoy social media in a peaceful, pastoral way. There may be many areas to improve as it operates, but we hope you enjoy this social media platform that lets you relax, without tension or competition. Currently, "state" operates on an invitation basis. You can join by obtaining an invitation code from existing users.
