@TerminalAutism @Misato Yea I see.
XMPP only ever is a problem regarding RAM usage when people upload huge amounts of images since I login, but other than that never happened to me.
As for browser, I used to be like that in the past, but now that I avoid using Cuckflare and JS-only websoytes as much as possible, I never have lots of tabs opened up anymore.
Hell, even while talking to you right now I'm using a TUI app (tut), as it's a billion times faster and more stable than the default Pleroma frontend.
I watch JewTube, Opussy, and PeerTube videos all using MPV, and most of the time I only watch those that appear in my RSS feeds (Newsboat, yet another TUI app).
I can tell you, not seeing the comments section on these soytes (and protocol) is so liberating!
