> If you really want to see slack waste CPU and battery, leave a channel open that somebody has pasted a high FPS animated GIF into

This is basically an attack especially if you post a couple of them. My god.

It is really surprising how bad/slow Slack is compared to Discord

i assumed as much given one is made for gamers and the other for corporates.

I basically avoid large channels at work because it just absolutely bogs down my machine.

Just turning off animations in settings would help I guess

connecting to slack from a third party application is even better.
