Discord CPU Usage Malware Joke

If you are a 3D artist / Gamedev / gamer, please turn off this monstrosity, I noticed this just a week ago while rendering close to deadline, I know a lot of orgs in VFX use discord for comms CPU usage before and after closing @discord app Actual malware 😂 AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor 100%

A screenshot of a social media post warns 3D artists, game developers, and gamers about Discord consuming nearly all CPU resources during rendering, shown by a Ryzen processor graph dropping from 100% usage after Discord is closed. The joke calls Discord “actual malware” because its background resource usage can severely hinder demanding creative work, making this useful as a reaction to software that hogs system resources.
