Subs definitely can make your content in that sub (including everything you post in that sub) disappear in a way that isn't just "without explanation", but explicitly in a way that makes it appear as still online to you to make it harder for you to notice. As the demo OP provided demonstrates. As far as I know this is not a feature Reddit officially provides, but creative (ab)use of the spam filter, moderation queue, or similar features, which reddit doesn't effectively prevent.

The ability to disagree with words online is being shrouded in darkness, and it won't stop until we start applying transparency that can provide openings to see what's been hidden from us.
