@theurparanoid Probably. I just don't want all the banner ads and ****** audio, just like when they took over skype. Man, I used skype for everything back in the day. Then it turned into a **** and now I can't even login because I have on idea what MS account they created for it.

@SalameleonAD @conejitogigante I don't think it's going to go the way of Skype; as Conejito's mentioned, very different folks running MSFT now, and they're more likely to treat it like GitHub. I *doubt* they'll kill the standalone service, either; Discord's consciously broadened past gamers recently.

Skype and Discord merging together could have the potential of fixing select issues with both platforms though: I don't like the Timed Limitations on some Discord Servers that forces you to be a Twitch or Patreon subscriber, and Call Recording on Skype had been trash for years.

@HBJohnXuandou Maybe they could fix their OS and Skype before jumping ship. Awful software engineers for how many resources they have to throw at things.

@GILx87 @business Thats what everyone initially thought when microsoft acquired skype back in the day, but they literally ruined the app and service into the ground, then discord was made and everyone moved over there.

@pixelyunicorn And honestly, I can't fault them on Skype's fate, it was already broken beyond repair before they got it and just needed an actual competitor to finally fall into the grave. Can't say they really _helped_ avert that fate tho

@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?

@SignpostMarv That's the only upside to this. Microsoft butchered Skype so bad that Discord became as popular as it is because of how bad Skype got to use. They just can't help trying to remake MSN messenger, bugs and all

Microsoft clumsily merging Skype and MSN messenger into a single service ended up being a massive failure. To be wary of the very idea of Microsoft buying Discord is a smart position to take.

@business Oh god no. We left Skype for Discord because Microsoft ****** it up in the first place, don't make a god damned mess of a program that was literally made to be the ANTITHESIS of what your service is.

@WCoder598 Prefer them despite their flaws in the past. Skype was terrible along with Mixer.

@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.
