Last I heard, reionization was not understood in detail so I find it surprising the author here is confident they found a dark matter signature. Not being able to read more than the abstrac I can’t say for sure, but it also looks like this is not an experimental paper but a theoritician trying to put put a quick paper: no mention of the instrument in the abstract nor comparison to existing exclusion limits on the dm today.

  I'm a bit surprised this wasn't posted on the arxiv as well. Maybe it will be soon?

There are two simultaneous papers in Nature (which I linked to), one describing the experimental result from the EDGES, the other an explanation for the result.
