I like how when you use the Discord "app", it will just sit there and continue to eat away at your RAM until it eventually - from what I can tell - notices that something is wrong, reloads itself and begins again. Discord is such jank garbage.
EDIT: I noticed it helps a lot if you are in as few servers as possible. So I assume it's the thing fetching updates but never freeing memory after doing so.

@memoriesin8bit@mastodon.gamedev.place I'm pretty sure it's an electron app, meaning it's a chromium web browser displaying (mostly) locally-generated pages. It used to be that you could bring up the console panel and modify the pages to give you more control over the look and feel (I used it to change the size of the channel panel), but they locked that away about a year ago.
