I was thinking this would become a problem some day. About the technical solutions.

1. [It is possible](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/posts-linked-to-pit-threads/915314) to blur or hide backlinks with the site theme but it’s all or nothing. There’s currently no way to only blur/hide links to the Pit.

And that’s it. ☹

It is theoretically possible to hide only Pit links, but as far as I can tell this would require changes to Discourse itself.
