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

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)

@bds_angelo I’ve had a few conversations with him over Skype. He’s genuinely the way he is on Instagram, it’s just that he put himself on a pedestal he couldn’t come down from.

@firemasterpug @lesbianchongyun @takakinnie because twitter thinks all problems in society could be solved if jacob.minecraft.2013 on skype spoke up about the thing he knows nothing about for his 3 followers

So I'm putting it out there...I need some help. While I'm streaming, audio from chrome and zoom/skype can't be heard on stream. I work from a Mac, so does anyone have some pearls of wisdom so I can get this fixed?

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

@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.

@Sharon_SnowJade Teams seems pretty terrible for video stuff esp. if you want to see Teams docs/chat at same time. Zoom/Skype - ok. BlueJeans - defunct? LogMeIn - not sure yet. Then add the random assortment for lectures/conference... so many!!!

@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..

@Hunter4J @XcloudTimdog I have no issues with that. Skype is obsolete, its time has passed I think. They'd be much better off making good use of discord (hopefully)

If Microsoft buys Discord it becomes part of the Skype/Teams Frankenstein's monster. A lot of businesses are using Discord for customer service and internal team communications (breakout rooms, bots, automations).

@mewvore @RockLeeSmile Nah they'll just do the same thing they did with Skype and put in everything while bloating it to the point of uselessness and another service will come along to replace it eventually and then it'll get bought out too And the cycle continues

@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.

@Hunter4J @XcloudTimdog Skype is baked into Microsoft Teams which is very successful. But Discord has just overtaken the service at a fundamental quality level that Skype can't match.

@NadeenYousef how come! Teams is great in all aspects, maybe you have a poor internet connection, cuz i couldn't find any issues dealing with it, about the full screen issue, maybe i didn't face because i have a 2 screens setup, but Skype is literally horrible, specially when it comes to chats
