    I am in 6 slack channels. 1.5GB RAM consumed by the desktop app. In 100+ IRC channels. 25MB consumed by irssi. The future is rubbish.

        @TheCocoaNaut which app version ate you on? Slack 2.3 is much better.

        2.2.1 because that's the only version I see on their website. What hoops do I have to jump through to get the non-shit version?pic.twitter.com/xAPPEc5YzJ

        I thought they have released 2.3 final already. Just search for “Slack beta”.

        maybe its your problem that can't afford much memory, RAMs are cheap!

        Maybe I can afford plenty of RAM (I have 16GB) and don't want to waste it on a chat client.

        @BeardOps are you using the beta version? On Mac, I switched and it's a much better future.

        I use weechat. I've joined about 5 channels, proxied to my mobile phone. How do you manage to read over 100 channels? 😨

        I don't read all of all of them, and have judicious use of hilights and irssi notifier.

        100 channels with thousands of of lines of backscroll in RAM. Yes, terrible :)

        : Somehow I have to cite your #slack vs #irssi tweet and https://xkcd.com/1782/  rather often. (Of course I'm using irssi and #screen)

        All these GUIs suck up so many resources. We should probably all switch back to DOS and *nix.
