Discord's voice and streaming are kind of crappy.

Uh, I don't know what you're on. Discord's client is web-based and you claim it is less resource intensive than a C++ compiler?

Not sure what you're talking about.

Sourcehut is by no means "arcane". Neither are Matrix, nor Mastodon.
He didn't say everyone should send patches by email to mailing lists.

On bigger projects C++ compiler can be as heavy as triple A games. for comparison: I compiled C# compiler in 1/nth of the time that it took me compiling LLVM and it didnt ate my all gigs of RAM. >Not sure what you're talking about. Author claims that some people don't have good enough hardware for Discord That's fair, but what we should aim for? when I will know that my project's "environment" is too heavy because e.g I "require" contributors to use e.g some fancy tool like Docker with 5 containers that need 3GB of RAM
