I don't think your post will be downzapped.
It's interesting watching SN figure out how to use sats as a tool for moderation
If sats total was the only ranking mechanism, we might expect events Luke Fun Fact Friday to end up with people creating alt accounts and zapping their own entry up 9999 sats.
Clearly SN can't use sats total alone to determine ranking of a post.
So they add some weighting factor (trust) to the mix.
There is trust based on your interactions with other stackers and then there is a different trust based on the whole website (global trust).
Previously, I had thought that tapping on the top tab showed you the rankings with global trust, but @ek's comment here, makes me think that is not the case.

This has happened in the past. After I expressed my disagreement or my point of view about something, I saw my comment or post outlawed. But anyway.

Yes, me too. Despite @ek's comment, I still don't believe this is an algorithm issue, but they just wanted to give the sats to that post and that's it. Otherwise, every post of yours or every comment of yours would appear as a "top post" to you when you click on "top", but this does not happen.
