It's not just the domain, because a submission to youtube[1] was shadow banned or censored as well. This looks like undisclosed censorship against a particular language, which is why the question was asked. However, thanks for the response, because concerns over censorship and bans on hacker news should be out in the open.
I focused on the domain because that was the common factor that stood out to me in the examples you provided, especially given the domain's recent history here. I don't think I can usefully speculate as to why the post you linked was killed, though I am somewhat skeptical about the conclusion you appear to have drawn.

Maybe, maybe not, but either way hijacking unrelated threads is probably not the way to go about doing such a thing.
