This is the post in question

In addition to a the screen shot, I archived the page on wayback machine on August first

And posted it in several places

I went to the link yesterday, but instead of accessing the page, I noticed it said ‘saving page now’, which is weird, because they only do that if the page wasn’t saved. Then I ended up to a capture on the same instance I access the link. I checked but that was the only capture on wayback.

Maybe I’m misremembering but two people confirmed they were access the full thread when they saw it.

So it definitely existed at one point, and now it’s not there.

So what happened?

Guess number 1: Glitch? But I have never seen or heard a glitch in my entire time with Wayback machine.

Guess number 2: Reddit requested a removal? Wayback Machine will literally remove anything if asked. But why would Reddit remove a post where a mod fails to win over a crowd? And why now and not something less flattering and more major? Well, for something more major, there would be a Streisand effect. Where as this was some minor unflattering drama that lasted a day.
