What is there to respond to? "This thing may happen at some point in the future" isn't insight or commentary.

I can formulate a response, but it's already required more thought and effort than you seemed to have put into your comment. Engagement farming and bait isn't what HN is generally for.

>Not sure why my parent comment was flagged. I guess when you can’t formulate a response, you flag and downvote? Is that the HN way?

It was a vague and negative one-liner, with no indication of what you were insinuating or why you think that way, from a brand new account.

If you spent 30 more seconds to expand on what history you were referring to and why you think history is repeating, it would not have been flagged.

I’d have at least said something like “it reminds me of app.net, but with a lot more traction” or something to poke at a conversation.
