@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.

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

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

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

@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

@HHShkMohd Great? But how about the communication issues which remote employees would face? The restrictions on Skype etc.

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?

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)

@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

@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..

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

@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.

@Hytsia @business You're right. It's called people left skype cause discord came to be. If discord never popped up Skype would still be the #1 service in that area today. And discord only took over the market cause it was more tailored to gamers, the main demographic for skype for awhile.

@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.

I just started Discord, and now Im gonna end my account bc Microsoft is buying it apparently. My problem is that Microsoft will kill what it is, Skype is dead and owner by Microsoft. Why cant they build their own apps? If they put some effort they can redefine it.

@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

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

@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)

@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.

@TheSpoonyOne If ever you wanted to, I would love to watch Big Trouble in Little China with you over Skype or something. It would be dope as hell.

@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!

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