blackholed
Sucked into oblivion
Blackholed describes something that has disappeared into a void, absorbed without trace or response.
In computing, blackholed traffic is network data routed to nowhere—silently discarded rather than delivered.
More broadly, emails or requests get blackholed when they vanish into bureaucratic or digital oblivion: I sent three follow-ups but they all got blackholed.
The image comes from the astronomical black hole, from which nothing escapes.
