Resumo

Ao comparar Discord e Slack, Discord gera significativamente mais CO2 por hora (35g) do que Slack (30g). Ambas as aplicações dependem de dispositivos, redes e infraestrutura de servidores, que contribuem para o seu impacto ambiental.

Porque a diferença acontece

  • 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.

Em que agir primeiro

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

Discord está atualmente modelado com 5g de CO2 a mais por unidade de uso do que Slack.
