    element is much lighter weight, my god wgat fuck are you even dreaming up about, discord is fucking unresponsive and horrible to use, I do agree that the device verificstion still barely works sometimes, and you can also just use a different a client, as far as web clients go cinny is really good honestly, cinny is fast and responsive it even feels almost native, which compared to garbagecord is a night and day difference in usability beyond DOING ALL OF THIS WHILE USING LESS RESOURCES, for android Schildichat Next is my choice

      element is much lighter weight

      Here, the webapps are measured via the very scientific method of Firefox about:processes, doesn’t even account Firefox itself which is like 760 megs (decimal MB or MiB? I am not sure) if I were to believe it.

      On amd64, loonix with glibc and all that crap, zero memory pressure (assuming I am reading “shared” correctly in htop which I assume to be libraries like glibc and glib):

      • Discord: starts at 800 megs, garbage collects down to 704 to 710-ish (overburned CD size?); turning on/off equicord doesn’t affect it much
      • Element: 367 mystery units after clicking around for a while, 341 unfocused
      • Nheko: 362 MiB, 201MiB shared (probably with Firefox, can’t close cuz I am typing here rn)
      • Dino: 334MiB, 116 shared (probably with Firefox)
      • Mumble (random server with a long text greeting and nobody in voice): 169MiB, 130MiB shared.
      • random forum with a bunch of emotes and table decorations (for comparison sake): 69 meters (NICE)
      • qwebirc (1 server): 61 megs
      • Weechat (6 servers): 65392 bytes, out of which 33396 shared (with system daemons I am guessing).
      • Toxic: 44648 bytes, out of which 0 are shared. Plus ~90000 for Alacritty (65160 shared when multiple).

      lmao
