Arxiv is for preprints, this is full peer-reviewed publishing. It replaces academic journals, not preprint repositories like arxiv.

They mention Diamond Open Access, so probably not

Publishing power is already incredibly centralized in hands of a few oligopolistic publishers

Not sure what this point means and how it's relevant to this initiative

Idk, seems pretty specific to me

not exactly, they publish first, reviews happen afterwards, often not approved

> They mention Diamond Open Access, so probably not

not exactly, Diamond Open Access - is still an action plan, access is free only for EU-funded researchers (EU commission actually pays)

> few oligopolistic publishers

sounds interesting, who do you mean?

> Not sure what this point means and how it's relevant to this initiative

the initiative is about "sharing knowledge". wonder what is the real purpose

> Idk, seems pretty specific to me

"open science", "equitable access", "flagship initiative" etc.

That's not Arxiv's role. Arxiv does not manage any review process. It merely hosts preprints. The reviews will happen if you submit to an actual journal or conference, which is entirely independent of the arxiv submission.
