It is a pretty fair comparison.

You do have the option to open up Discord voice chats on PS5. Amazing what Discord could do when forced to actually write something efficient.

Youtube also exists as an app, and maybe you can trick the heavily gimped built in browser to go there as well, although last I checked it wasn't trivial.

TIL! That's neat, I wonder how much RAM that client uses compared to the desktop one.

Personally I haven’t caught the discord electron app (it’s not a desktop client) using more than 4G of ram at one time :)

Maybe 6 once. Try not to leave it for weeks displaying the memes/cat photos channels…

It kind of is, because if you use a PC like a console 16 Gb is enough. If you use a PC like a PC it's not.
