you need webpush
messengers that keep connections open and cannot distinguish between important and unimportant messages will drain your batterythey’re lying to you. i have an irc client open 24/7 on sailfish OS, i’m in a few relatively active channels and connected to multiple networks, and it makes zero difference. if it’s just sitting there with notifications enabled the battery level drops by about 4-5% per day (it’s 5 years old and i always fast-charge to 100%)
