   The Element Matrix client on Android uses a whopping 860MB of RAM on my device, and I'm only in a handful of channels.

   I really like this client, but that's an immediate uninstall 😟

     @keith @fribbledom Yeah, I use Conversations to access the Matrix bridge and it peaks just below 100 MB.
     
     Missing some features like formatting and reaction emoji but it's ok. The places I go mostly follow IRC culture anyway.

     @fribbledom this is why I've largely given up on Element, it's not a terrible chat protocol but the clients are so heavyweight in comparison to e.g. Conversations for XMPP

     @fribbledom @rlaska On my Huawei Android I go to Settings->Apps->Apps->the app->Memory, dunno if that's in AOSP or not.

     This is "Power Center", an app that shipped with the Blackberry Key* phones.

     @fribbledom
     Just curious, what app are you using to track memory usage?

     @fribbledom you think that’s bad, check out the memory and cpu requirements on the server side.

     Plaything for entitled tech bros.

     @fribbledom Yeah I was using Matrix with just one person who was running her own home server. Her server chewed through literally of all the RAM despite it being used between just us, I think.

     @fribbledom any recommendations for other clients?
