Maybe I just don't understand how the capture dates work on waybackmachine, but the only two captures were made today, at a time after the original post was seemingly deleted. When I was trying to locate the source of the screenshot yesterday there was also no entry in the waybackmachine yet for that URL.
Am I just not understanding how this works or is there something else here?
Edit: I see now that the URL given yesterday for "proof" and the URL captured are just two different URLs. And the captured URL also still works, so there's no discrepancy here

From what I understand, the original link given with the screenshot was fake, hence why it appeared to lead to a post that was deleted. The link that was archived with the Wayback machine is the real conversation from which the screenshot originated from. The screenshot was doctored, but everything else other than the text matches up. For sites like these, the Wayback only archives at request. The debunker wanted to give real proof and not just a screenshot.
