The parent comment explained why they dismissed this in clear language. Yours is a random weird comparison to Dropbox (how is it related to this post? Which side is Dropbox, TikTok or Loops?)
- jdeisenberg 8mo agoI think this is a reference to when Dropbox was first introduced. I recall posts dismissing it as “just something that could be done as well with a bash script”.
- Moldoteck 8mo agoAnd who is dropbox in this situation? A federated implementation for me looks more like the bash script while tiktok would be the dbox
- niel 8mo agoI believe GP is referencing this classic comment from 2007 on Drew's original Show HN post for Dropbox: > For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224
- wiseowise 8mo agoIt’s a new trend to shoehorn any random shit into this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224.
