    😆 That's insane. 1/16th of my RAM for a voice comm program. What a bunch of bloat.

    Makes me curious what Fluxer is using now that I switched to that.

    It uses flutter, still bloated but it's frequently uses a quarter of what discord does for the same work load. Typically between 500 megs to 1 gig. When discord would use 2-4 gigs.

    If you want a full all in one client like this your going to have to use a decent chunk of ram no matter what. But discord lost its marbles ages ago.
