    @business nothing imminent, just initial talks theres also a chance Discord could go public MSFT owns Skype. failed & shut down Mixer. and are now interested in Discord. interesting to see how the situation develops ...How do you feel about this?

  • calvinbugalo boff (@calvinbugalo) reported

    Twitter spaces be bussin though 🤞🏼 Skype really down the drain

  • roxsune eyestrain kitsune🌈🦊💖 (@roxsune) reported

    @yourcompanionAI i guess at least theyre the least likely to do excessively weird **** with it beyond use it to supplant skype and maybe force microsoft accounts for login like theyre working on doing with java!mc

  • gloomygalleon Gloomy (@gloomygalleon) reported

    instead of fixing their own service, they’d rather just bog another one down. funny how that turns out. didn’t we leave Skype for this same exact reason lmao (I doubt it would happen for this cord though)

  • jackyharuhiko Haruhiko (@jackyharuhiko) reported

    @stroughtonsmith My recent experience with video calling on Skype made me nostalgic about 15 years ago. The call quality is just the same. Laggy, pixelated, terrible voice quality.

  • CamronJK 🐮CamronJK🐻 and 16 others (@CamronJK) reported

    @LenaAxios /me stares at Skype... Like even ignoring what they did the Mixer, they have a service that worked the same way, and they butchered it.

  • MushPIush Mush (@MushPIush) reported

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

  • WhatIfUniverse Drew (Video Editor feel free to DM) (@WhatIfUniverse) reported

    @TheSalajin Data collection could be an issue in my opinion and they own skype so its kinda a monopoly if they buy it

  • Curator_Koriko Koriko (@Curator_Koriko) reported

    @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.

  • Crusader3456 Crusader, Lord of the Realm (@Crusader3456) reported

    @PixelMetal @Romudeth Only problem i have had is due to how our VPN works. If I don't restart Teams after reconnecting it gets upset, but so does Outlook and Skype.

  • bigtenfourCS 10-4 (@bigtenfourCS) reported

    @JakeBaldino I mean, look what they did with Skype? Nothing. Microsoft will probably run it to the ground in 4-5 years. Skype should have been THE video conferencing service to use during the lockdown, instead they got beat by the new kid on the block, Zoom

  • YourBoswell 🔞🏳️‍🌈Loki’s Buttslut🏳️‍⚧️⭕️🔞 (@YourBoswell) reported

    @business NO. SKYPE IS TERRIBLE ALREADY. DONT BREAK DISCORD TOO.

  • dustbunnyck Christopher Komer (@dustbunnyck) reported

    @JakeBaldino I hope not Discord would get ruined cause Skype has been complete garbage since forever and they shut down msn messenger too

  • __phantomderp Björk (@__phantomderp) reported

    @boring_cactus No, but it is a thing that's been exceptionally poorly executed on. And if you can fail Lync/Skype/Teams and a handful of other communication platforms, maaaaybe you should sit down and look in the mirror rather than just trying to paper it over with another shiny service!

  • Matt_Volk matt (@Matt_Volk) reported

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