Wow, this is a new one for me. A 2nd referee on a paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.05991 ) submitted to @AAS_Publishing over 8 months ago wants the paper rejected because it was posted to @arxivpic.twitter.com/9bvALVvr30

Unless you opt for double blind reviews. Then advice (not a rule): please don’t post to arxiv for reasons I hope are obvious. But you’re right, apj does not care if you preprint it. Never has.
@AAS_Publishing
I'd argue that if a reviewer knows their field, they can usually make a pretty good guess who authored a blinded paper either way with a little research. A reviewer simply isn't supposed to actively try to uncover the authors identity by doing stuff like searching or arxiv.

Noticing arxiv papers in your field of study is not “actively searching” arxiv.

True. But I don't get the impression from the OP that that's what happened here. But IDK of course. Also, by this argument people shouldn't read any papers in their field, because very often one can infer a papers author just by being familiar with their previous work.
