Counterpoint: please don't do any of the above and keep arxiv as it is. It is too valuable to mess it up, it is the few things on the internet that have not been ruined yet, and the "comment activity" can happen in the articles themselves at the scale of years, decades, and centuries.

This seems to be a completely different team than arxiv, making a discussion forum on the side.
And I prefer this over discussions on 'X'.

I actually want the above, BUT I don't want it to be open to everyone. Not all gate keeping is bad.
We don't lack places that the public can engage with researchers and experts. What we do lack are places where researchers/experts can communicate with one another __and expect the other person to be a peer__. The bar to arxiv is (absurdly) low, and I think that's fine.
Not everything has to be for everyone.

I'm going to go crazy if I get more GitHub issues asking where the source code is or how to fine tune a model. My research project page is not a Google Search engine nor ChatGPT...
