      I don’t know what you’re installing, but it takes 255MB on my phone. If you’re on a desktop, use your browser. Not that it should be much different.

      Edit: Also the same size on desktop according to Google. The fact that a statement as incorrect as yours is so heavily upvoted tells me there’s no actual logic and reasoning at play here in this argument.

        The problem with electron apps are that they’re literally just browser windows, which require a lot of overhead that you wouldn’t need with a native application. What you’re recommending has no benefit.

        The issue is that Electron apps are an acceleration of Wirth’s Law.

          Still calling BS on ‘multi-GB’. Runs on mine in a few hundred MB. Not to mention you’re using the wrong terminology if you’re referring to memory usage and not storage space.

          Must be a windows problem. Discord is neither larger than 500mb in size, and never uses more than a gig of ram on my machine.

          There’s a million good reasons to not like discord. Age verification, the advertising, the paid nitro for emojis. Why lie?
