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

@G27Status They already have Skype. Why don't they use that 10 billion dollars to fix their existing apps?

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

@simplygastly Well as far as I am aware skype is doing pretty well, it's tech is being used access all of MS and it's a very popular Customizable service for Telepresence in the business industry also Teams = Skype v2 but not named so.

@AndaIus @business MS has been wanting to acquire Discord for the longest since the service practically killed their own service Skype.

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.

@meansary321 Yea it was mostly advertising for their video chat service when Zoom started to boom either way rip Skype
-
Flip Bunny @ Fun is cancelled
(@FlipBunny) reported
@Virgil_Deer They did way worse than that. As soon as they got Skype they started dropping the call quality enough that it became useless. On top of that Imagine the engineering hours wasted to put the service on the Microsoft platform.

Storm the 😷 = ❤️ Gryphon
(@StormGryphon) reported
@NoxyBurd They have Skype already... If they had properly upgraded and marketed it we wouldn't have stuff like Zoom But they will probably end up buying Discord because they have the cash and will put it under their empire. May help. May not. Depends on how they fund it.

@KevinKoolxHalo @Hayden_G230 Actually Skype is pretty well integrated with Xbox and it's a very good alternative whenever party chat is down or having issues. But yeah Skype could've been so much more.

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

@fbfishslap Well Skype just didn't fix bugs and adapt, otherwise it was.. decent

@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.

(@Generalkidd) reported
@CoolKidJoeXBL @XcloudTimdog Well to be fair, Skype was used to replace MSN Messenger and is now used in enterprise in the form of Teams which evolved from Skype for Business. It's also available on Xbox as an alternative to party chat whenever that's down or unavailable.

@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.

(@ColiverXYZ) reported
@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.

@business Instead of trying to acquire Discord, @Microsoft should try to fix its Teams feature (and Skype).

@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

OH and Discord chat themes. Just remembered that from Skype. You see how they did with Skype. If Microsoft acquires Discord I feel like the goodness of the service is done for.
