Poor fit is better than good fit but poor quality. You don't necessarily need it published because it should be visible on Google scholar and easily citable anyway

Better a desk reject than a 6 month wait before you can resubmit somewhere else

I had a paper rejected because "the work is interesting and fits the theme, but perhaps more suited for a less reputable conference"
on a fucking RANDOM NO NAME CONFERENCE

Desk rejects for many good journals can hit 60-80% of submissions. For the more major journals it's much closer to being the norm than any other result. Definitely not something to read too much into.

I’m in this phase rn 😅 got a reject because “other recent papers have published a similar topic” like sorry my niche topic I started working on 3 years ago is now all of a sudden a hot topic that’s not my fault 😭 too late to go back now
