Yeah same, arxiv is pretty conservative, all things considered, as a preprint server. Arxiv is just being hit hard because it is prestigious among preprint servers and it focuses on the heaviest slopped disciplines.

@jonny@neuromatch.social @neuralreckoning@neuromatch.social @brembs@mastodon.social "Arxiv...is prestigious among preprint servers". What an interesting sentence. (I don't disagree.) But note that this implies that the preprint server plays a journal-like role in being used to judge paper quality. (Again, I don't disagree.) It's almost as if we can't get away from using proxies to judge quality.
