This is based on what my ram usage tracker has listed from when I used discord about 8 months ago. I'm weird and keep track of ram, CPU, GPU and io usage for every process 24/7.

I haven't used it since switching to fluxer.

It's usage is honestly kinda all over the place. While fluxers is really consistent. Couldn't tell you why.

But I can say that watching video streams would be included in that ram figure.

    Right right but I'm asking what you were doing in discord when you got that 4gb number. Was discord idle? Were you in voice chat with 5 people? Sharing video?
