It's not even about the review. If it was, people who have Nature papers retracted would be in very dire straits (despite the fact, they tend to do very well anyway).

It's a metric that you need to advance your career. A line on your CV, a reference in your next grant proposal or facility proposal. It shows that people are invested in your work and think it is worthwhile to carry out (regardless of the verifiability of it).

Absolutely relevant. Had a huge issue with the University recently about being able to publish in a journal because they wouldn't pay the fees - every point at which there can be a problem, there will be.

Yet somehow this doesn't seem to materialize in any meaningful way, the price of housing has only been going up exponentially and I'm sure builders are doing their best to build more but it's not getting any cheaper.

There's a bit of history here where condensed matter physicists enjoy finding analogues and porting over mathematical ideas and theories applied primarily in higher energy particle physics. See: the humble skyrmion that started its life as a doomed particle physics model.

The rub here is calling is a Higgs MODE and specifically not a higgs particle.

The scientists aren't really at fault here, since it looks like within the field the Higgs mode is well understood and the main aim of these paper is other scientists.

That's fair, and I think it's great to find all of these titles that are just unnoticed in the west. However for me I think your UI is still falling behind these other sites (which do admittedly look like clones of each other) - the images scaling down when you mouse over the menu is honestly quite annoying, the front page is extremely sterile and basic, and it just doesn't follow the standard for the industry (both in the west and in japan) of typically 3 most recent and first 3 chapters are free. Another issue is at the moment you really don't have a lot of titles - 108 sure sounds like a lot but compared to what's out there it's absolutely nothing and there is no way that everyone who signs up will be interested in most of these. And maybe this is also a problem of it being very small in scale, but there is no option to search for more than one tag at a time which is the worst trend in the world and something that was solved on mangadex years ago. I hope you can address these things in future.

Why should anyone use this over one of the competitors, like Viz or Mangaplus? This is rapidly becoming a saturated market.

I hope discord pays you to write fluff pieces like this.

In practice, threads are effectively the same as channels with the benefit that if people stop talking after x minutes it self-deletes/archives/disappears, but ultimately works the same where discussion gets channeled into smaller and smaller circles - policing of "this should go here", "there's a thread for that", "just make a thread" etc.

In fact it is even worse than channels because by default threads are not visible. They get hidden behind a button to even view them, and they naturally do not alert you to when a new thread is being created. It adds another layer of inaccessibility to channels that filters down the amount of people you will actually be engaging with at any one time.

I agree discord is great for being easy to use and access, but ultimately it falls apart above say a couple hundred members. At 330k members really you are better off just opening a forum, it's an insane amount of people that really I think you do struggle to develop any sense of community and I'm almost positive that there is very little meaningful interaction between your epic content creator and his fans in this discord server.

And let's be honest, discord moderators are a joke. The majority of the time people who choose or seek to be moderators, particularly in the manner you mention through a moderator "exam", are individuals that are grasping for a small sense of power to lord over people. Moderation isn't rocket science. I'm rather skeptical that it hasn't polluted your view given the way you vaguely name-drop moderating for a large community, a job that is completely thankless and likely unpaid except for in the clout you might gain by name dropping.
