minus-squarefeddylemmy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·2 years agoI don’t deny discord comes with bloat. But the idea that discord needs a “super expensive rig” seems a bit hyperbolic. If you can browse this site, your hardware can probably deal with discord.
minus-squareRT Redréovič@feddit.chlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI can understand that «super expensive» will have a different meaning for different regions but for me it is the case. I am using the Thunder Client on Android with some optimizations. But its resource usage is not comparable to Discord at all. Regardless, Libre platforms like Lemmy and Matrix allow me to use different clients if one is too heavy for me. This is not the case with Discord.
