The "implication" in that "edit" is what the rest of the story describes.

> ...Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, where one out of every 21 workers were reportedly hurt in 2022

> ...an engineer who approached a supposed shutdown robot arm but got clawed and pinned to the wall by the machine performing its programmed motions

> At least one worker was concussed after getting launched back from an explosion in the metal casting area around New Year’s 2023.

This isn't some hit piece on Tesla by way of contractor incompetence, there are substantial injuries happening to employees as well.

So quote those things then! The edit was designed to imply something worse than it was - or perhaps OP didn't even read the article but wanted an opportunity to rant about Tesla.
I read the article. I did not edit my comment. And the fact that this incident involved contractors doesn't make Tesla any less culpable, especially considering the pattern of accidents across their properties. This case just seemed to highlight how carelessly Tesla and those they contract with are about safety.

I've fired contractors for less.

GP's complaint appears to be that you edited your quote by eliding parts of it that seem material to the story, not that you edited your comment. Edited comments get marked as such last I knew.

Edited HN comments are not marked like they are on, say, reddit.
Let me test that, it's possible I'm confused. If they're not, honestly, they should be.

EDIT: added this to check. EDIT2: seems like you're right, I thought this forum was open source so I wonder where to add a PR.

It's definitely not open source.
