Ask HN: Why is my submission not visible if I am not logged in?

I posted an article earlier, but I just noticed when not logged in on another computer that it is as if I never posted it. It's also didn't seem to be indexed as you can't search for it.

It's not a dupe, its from a news website that is often posted on here (I discovered them through HN!), and is clearly pretty relevant to tech.

I am honestly fine if everyone just wanted to downvote it and remove it from HN, but at least can I just see that this happened? Am I missing something? Really not trying to complain about censorship (not trying to kid myself there), but more just a meta note. I feel like in the past I would see that it was flagged and removed, or a dupe or otherwise. Just at least tell me stuff like this isn't welcome here, you don't even need to give good reason!

the article I posted: https://www.404media.co/ai-is-african-intelligence-the-workers-who-train-ai-are-fighting-back/

this is the post itself, but it looks like only I can see it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47353019
