I tested out revolt and element. Out of the two element seems to be the most well rounded. What do you people use to replace discord to protect your privacy?

As much as I appreciate what SimpleX is doing, it's a massive memory hog on Android - 120mb all the time.

I do look forward to seeing it mature though, I think that will improve, along with device linking.

My current stats:

Molly: 445 Schildichat: 218

SimpleX doesn't sound so bad in regards to memory

Molly is a fork of the Signal app. Worth checking, but ain't a service.
