Every time Slack goes down, I am convinced that @amiller reclines back in his chair, puts his feet up, and thinks to himself, "And they make fun of me when I say that Skype is better."

Microsoft Skype is down due to millions of #Slack customers trying to re-set their passwords.

@bbezanson Oh, I’m intimately familiar with that product. It’s like someone developed a chat app, by viewing screen shots of Slack, but never actually using it. Terrible Electron app on macOS and Windows. Limited by Exchange/Sharepoint/OneDrive/Skype for Business infrastructure.

Surprised Skype's login screen today doesn't say, "oh, so that tramp Slack is down and now you come running, huh?"

That painful reminder of how bad Teams and Skype are that you only get when Slack is down 💔

Everytime @Skype asks me to update, I'm so afraid. I know they are going to install more ads. UX has been going down with stupid ads. Why do these companies don't understand UX. There are better ways to monetize, not putting annoying ads.

@acmmayur There will always be user error &/or entropy in the mix. I recall a time at a former company when we used Skype daily and had a #SkypeDown incident... we then started looking at other options. But the main thing is to establish a backup plan that the whole company is aware of.

Since MS bought skype, I don't use it due to so many UI issues. Since MS bought GH to support "open source" they banned connections from Iran making GH more "open" LoL. Is it only my problems or slack is not working properly today? Did MS buy slack in December or something?;]

Slack is down so we're on Skype. Lol it's going to be a long day. I had to look up how to mute Skype.

@SkypeSupport have you recently updated your ‘live captions’ function? I found it really helpful previously but now it’s slower and doesn’t help with natural conversation - lots of pauses waiting for it to catch up.

@insertcoindoc Haha - I restarted my computer twice thinking it was me before I was able to see the server error response from Slack. I guess we're going the email string route since the rest of the team is avoiding Skype... because broken Slack is better than Skype? Happy Monday!

@gretakaviya Oh no! Sorry to hear that's happening. If you're using Record With Friends, we recommend checking the connectivity. If the issue persists you can try using another tool to record (like Skype or Zencastr).
