No, that's the default slack experience if you have a lot of teams.

I recommend:

* Disabling emoji support, especially animated emojis>

* Disabling auto-expanding of images (gifs are egregious)

* Use compact display

* Limit number of channels/groups you're in if possible, surely you don't need all those channels.

Doing this curbed my resource usage quite a lot. I don't miss emoji's all that much.

Hm, I wonder how much a company's Slack culture affects memory usage. I've never seen it eat more than a few hundred MB, but then my coworkers almost never post GIFs.
I didn't even know all of those things were possible! Thank you!
