IDK why everyone is talking about Skype again but thinking back on it feels like such a mix of dread and nostalgia, whenever stuff went down on skype it was always Extremely Wild

@Slasher No thanks. I've been using discord almost every day for over 4 years now. I'd rather not have the platform fall victim to Microsoft's terrible management like they did with Skype and Mixer.

@Amoirsp yes but skype is now a technically pay for service deal if you are using it as a group chat you are going to pay 5-10 dollars depending on whats your deal

(@FlipBunny) reported
@Virgil_Deer They did way worse than that. As soon as they got Skype they started dropping the call quality enough that it became useless. On top of that Imagine the engineering hours wasted to put the service on the Microsoft platform.

@G27Status They already have Skype. Why don't they use that 10 billion dollars to fix their existing apps?

@titan_frosty @Slasher You should be able to wait because Microsoft's history is of running Skype into the ground. Also trickle down economics is a lie.

OH and Discord chat themes. Just remembered that from Skype. You see how they did with Skype. If Microsoft acquires Discord I feel like the goodness of the service is done for.

@Microsoft buying @Discord probably wouldn't be the end of the world but they have an awful track record with this stuff. In 2011 Microsoft bought Skype and integrated it into their own popular chat service (MSN Messenger). Skype went downhill after that and its a joke now.

Their interest in Discord more than likely entirely rests on the massive user base & in turn data. How quickly did MS change the privacy/data collection on Skype after acquiring it? How quickly did it become a lagy broken garbage because of the **** they added for data sniff?

@IGN PLEASE don't turn Discord into a broken, unstable, resource-draining liability like you did Skype.

@CoolKidJoeXBL @XcloudTimdog Well to be fair, Skype was used to replace MSN Messenger and is now used in enterprise in the form of Teams which evolved from Skype for Business. It's also available on Xbox as an alternative to party chat whenever that's down or unavailable.

@idrykk I mean. Can't fix Skype, so why not buy the working product, dissolve it and relaunch Skype in it's place. Was the 1st thing I thought of.

@NoxyBurd They have Skype already... If they had properly upgraded and marketed it we wouldn't have stuff like Zoom But they will probably end up buying Discord because they have the cash and will put it under their empire. May help. May not. Depends on how they fund it.

@IGN The whole reason I GOT Discord was because Microsoft turned Skype into a broken, unstable, resource-draining mess. PLEASE, if it's true, don't repeat history.

@MemesThatsIt @lantastictv @Slasher They've ruined Skype so they have a record of being terrible at managing messaging platforms.

@cactaur Plus they already own Skype. Why do the need two of pretty much the same service.

(@MEOWPWR) reported
@Slasher Yuck. The problem with Microsoft buying software is that they don’t understand that discord or Skype is a product and they treat everything they buy as a feature of windows instead of a true product and they ruin it.

@meansary321 Yea it was mostly advertising for their video chat service when Zoom started to boom either way rip Skype

@RZ_172 @Slasher Skype is bad for general users, but it was really good for companies, for a really huge time frame, and it was where the money was. Google just kills every project, or abandons it, and having everything linked to a gmail account is terrible

@XcloudTimdog I guess it becomes obsolete, sad to say. Anytime Xbox live party's were down my friends and I would hop on Skype until it was fixed.
