Tangent, but does anyone know why links to lmarena.ai are banned on Reddit, site-wide? (Last I checked 1 month ago)

    I should have re-tested prior to posting. It is fixed now. I just tried posting a comment with the link and it was not [removed by reddit]. It was a really strange situation that lasted for months. Posts or comments with a direct link were removed like they were the worst of the worst. I tried posting to r/bugs and it was downvoted immediately. I eventually contacted he lmarena folks, so maybe they resolved it with reddit.

      theres just no mechanism to my knowledge to ban links sitewide, esp small sites (vs normies) like lmarena

        It was crazy. I tested in many subs, using posts and comments. The only caveat is that I only tried in one Reddit account. However, I could post links to any other site in subs that allow such things.
