Ask HN: How does post banning work on HN?

Hello everyone, I'm quite new to the HN community, so please forgive me if I'm doing something wrong, or if there's a better way to ask this question. Just please let me know!

So, I had submitted this post this morning under Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15277484 and it was gaining traction, was on the front page for quite some time, and then it suddenly vanished from trending/new/show pages.

Due to the sudden disappearance, I can't believe it was because of the downvotes. I think most probably one of the mods(?) removed it for some reason.

Was it done because the post involved Paul Graham? Is there a way I can contact the mods about the reason(or they can contact me)? I'd definitely want to know about any mistakes that I had made, even unintentionally, so that I don't repeat them in the future! Thanks :-)
