@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.

@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.

@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.

@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

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

@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

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

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

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?

If Microsoft actually buys Discord that's the definition of having money but no brains. They had Skype monopolized for years, lost out as soon as competition came up, and for all the money they're worth they couldn't fix their own platform. **** off Microsoft.

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

the biggest problem with alternatives is that you absolutely need a ton more useful features that the thing you're making an alternative for doesn't have (like discord compared to skype) or else it will be irrelevant
