Community chat versus work chat

Resumen

Al comparar Discord y Slack, Discord genera significativamente más CO2 por hora (35g) que Slack (30g). Ambas aplicaciones dependen de dispositivos, redes e infraestructura de servidores, que contribuyen a su impacto ambiental.

Por qué se produce la diferencia

Discord is modeled higher because long voice rooms, screen sharing, and media-rich communities can raise the active-session footprint.
Slack is modeled as a work chat tool that stays synced across devices but usually spends more time in text, notifications, and file previews than in continuous media.
Both estimates include device, network, and server-side overhead, and both use the same yearly formula: grams per hour x daily hours x 365 / 1000.

En qué actuar primero

For both tools, reduce the high-intensity sessions first: unnecessary screen sharing, long idle voice rooms, and always-on video.

Discord está modelado actualmente con 5g de CO2 más por unidad de uso que Slack.
