Almost one entire launch worth (40 of 49) of Starlink satellites was lost on Feb 3 when a solar storm coincided with their deployment. No degredation of service.....no previously deployed starlink satellites (currently 1700+) were lost. The reentry of at least some was filmed.
There's no point in lying about them reentering if they did not.....anyone who'd potentially be the target of a Starlink ramming can track them, anyway. The ones currently IN orbit have some potential offensive capability (via ramming), just like any other satellite.
But they're interesting because there are so many of them, they're relatively cheap, they're low orbit (you have to go through them), and they're so dispersed.

And I wonder if apple can block it on the phone.
They do that with Apple TV.
I can watch 100 cat videos just fine and when I start an IPOT video it restarts.
You just gave a me a free and fair erection
Freedom boner
I think re-entry fireballs were seen from the Starlink satellites, and there was a significant solar storm that day.

Losing 40+ sats isn't a big deal. They already have almost 2000 up there, target is almost 5000
Hopefully they all go down.
All excellent questions. Is tomorrow launch?

Truth social doesn’t start tomorrow.
