    @Enichan Skype's codebase is reportedly nuclear waste levels of terrible, and I wouldn't be surprised if their plan was to fold Skype into Discord rather than the other way around.

    @FrankFirez @BenjiSales Skype is trash. Microsoft closes down or makes everything they buy die. It’s trash. Look at Nokia

    @SuperBones5000 Skype was something MS bought, mismanaged so bad it basically died, and Microsoft Teams is basically a video chat service

    @xx_hannah_xx Yeah, unpopular opinion, but I think moving Discord to Azure and dealing with all the problems that crop up might mean more stability for the service in the long term. If I had to trust my life Skype or Discord to send a message, it would be Skype.

    @TravisHymas @EFF Skype is the worst to use for communication in a job. It's so outdated and just terrible.

  • ShAdOwXPR

    @XcloudTimdog They have Skype with teams. They can have another service.

    in 2011 microsoft bought skype and put an end to the last major p2p encrypted chat until the advent of stuff like signal. then in 2012 google bought and killed meebo, the last multi-platform im service, forcing everyone onto a single platform (skype, ironically)

  • Kynmarcher
    Adam Rees (@Kynmarcher) reported

    @ZhugeEX Well if I know Microsoft, it's so they can close down Skype and direct everyone to start using Discord. Which is exactly what they did to MS Messenger when they bought Skype.

  • CMadatMe

    @JezCorden @Hunter4J @XcloudTimdog Skype will be integrated into Discord over time. Doesn’t Skype offer a phone service? What’s that customer base world wide? Anyone know..

  • bigbrotrippin
    (BIG) BROTHER (@bigbrotrippin) reported

    @Sneakyone75 Yeah me n my homies did a while back too, weirdly skype for enterprise wasnt that bad, the problem with skype and their enterprise variant is they never adapted. Multi-channel irc-style rooms like discord and slack has is just easier to use, multiple skype chats sucked lol

    @jadethegoddessx i cant turn down a good fat skype drain

  • CypherCyborg
    Cypher (@CypherCyborg) reported

    @discord Do not accept Microsoft's offer. They killed skype already and we moved over to your service for that EXACT REASON.

  • Dragons_Dusk

    @HoegLaw I hate Skype and refuse to use it, the LAST thing I want is Microsoft to shove all the privacy issues Skype has on the one thing I do use

  • Jiminy_Kirket
    James Kirk (@Jiminy_Kirket) reported

    Felt like it'd been a few weeks since I talked to one group of friends, so I set up a movie night and log in to our Skype group and it turns out the last time we spoke was six months ago and now I am Down Bad

    @boring_cactus "The service won't get worse" (* Looks at Skype, Teams, and so many others ... *) I... I don't feel so great. 🥴
