I don't see anything "verifiably proven" in either of those links, unless we are operating under different definitons of the word lie.

In the twitter screenshot, and if there's more I will eat crow, Gio is certainly painting a narrative and suggesting a possible connection between Austin leaving Vast Error and Hussie's (alleged) control over the license, but there's no claim being made. It's up to the reader to decide what they believe, in a very similar fashion to Miles saying "maybe also because shit like this “exposé” has a tendency to keep happening when gio is around, which is a riddle i’d invite us all to contemplate" in his reply.

It's speculation, Gio is sure as hell attempting to fit that event into their narrative, but not at all a lie. Didn't claim Austin said anything, didn't claim they spoke with Austin behind closed doors, just saw an event and tried to fit into the overall idea they are pushing.

Similar thing in Cami's post -- has a narrative, trying to get things to fit into that framework, but I still don't see anything that's actually a lie. As Cami said, that section is neutral-ish/positive.

My problem remains that, even if you filter out all of Gio's spin (i.e. most of the HICU is fake article, it has a weak premise that Gio constantly calls attention to), the facts of the situation look very bad.

The constant editing I would assume is because this article was written very emotionally, probably without a proofreader, and Gio, who clearly feels very strong about the whole situation, is responding to feedback and fighting the worst of the concern trolling. I think the "Gio-ish" thing was incredibly insensitive but calling it anti-semitic is ridiculous and was distracting from the content of the article. Similar situation with the pronouns... Miles literally refers to Andrew with he/him pronouns in the included messages.
