Discord vs Slack

Discord and Slack look similar on the surface, but the usage pattern is different: Discord often mixes text, voice rooms, streams, and community media, while Slack is usually work messaging with occasional huddles and calls.

Résumé

En comparant Discord et Slack, Discord génère nettement plus de CO2 par heure (35g) que Slack (30g). Les deux applications reposent sur des appareils, des réseaux et une infrastructure serveur qui contribuent à leur impact environnemental.

Pourquoi l'écart existe

  • 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.

Sur quoi agir en premier

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

Discord est actuellement modélisé avec 5g de CO2 de plus par unité d'usage que Slack.
