    Zoom bad UI/UX has lead to #Shweta similar mistakes multiple times now. 1. #Shweta not realising that her mic is on 2. Creator/Admin of chat not kicking her out of chat fast enough Skype and similar tech has been there for ages now. They never faced similar problems.

    @HarbourHrbr Discord down aye man skype looking real usable atm

  • Resnauv Resnauv 🦝 (@Resnauv) reported

    In addition to replacing Teamspeak and Skype, @Discord is also replacing subreddits, Facebook groups, and message boards. Kind of hard to keep a server list under 100 these days, but that's the max. Anybody else having issues staying under 100?

  • DewayneLehman DeWayne Lehman (@DewayneLehman) reported

    @jeffjarvis is right. Journalism had simply failed to innovate on new revenue models. They just wanted a better mail subscription service. It's like AT&T blaming Skype because they sat insulated for 70 years without innovating. BTW... Did you know...

  • robertmain_ Robert Main (@robertmain_) reported

    @acar321 @PhilippeLoctaux @zoom_us Hangouts or Skype don't seem to have this issue. Just zoom.

  • whywedontgame magic h8-ball (@whywedontgame) reported

    We stopped gaming because Extra Horny Bard and Unnecessary Fireball Sorcerer stopped talking. Because exploration being too slow. It all went down on Skype.

  • extremelypanda space ***** (@extremelypanda) reported

    @M3_Hammer skype was always very wonky in that you had to connect to the internet, synchronize, and load a whole bunch of old chats every time you logged in from a new device.. like, slowly, and then you would still miss a msg here and there due to connection issues.. tldr i dont miss skype

  • _achyutha Achyutha Mamidipudi (@_achyutha) reported

    So unfortunate how skype had this video calling **** down but zoom still does better in every way

  • iObeyMen ServantOfMen (@iObeyMen) reported

    @notyouravgjoe86 Most of my service is to men I connected with locally or with Twitter men but I speak via Skype etc. I just sometimes think my addiction to what I see on Twitter takes away from my life in ways I think could be better spent elsewhere.

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • SW_SUPPORT_PAGE Tips, Tricks + Advice For Onlyfans + More ♥️ (@SW_SUPPORT_PAGE) reported

    Side note- I mentioned above that onlyfans dislikes the advertisement of other sites or apps, please use caution advertising Snapchat, Skype, clip sites/other 18+ sites etc. I haven’t (yet) had an issue with an allmylinks link in my OF bio under the website section.

    Coworker in our team skype said theyd do a RR for a transaction they my coworker needed help with. My head immediately went to “Rising Rush”. Legends rly stuck in my head huh. @Zilchypoo

  • theresatruth Theresa (@theresatruth) reported

    @JordanSekulow The couple who passed away from Covid was not Janice Dean's Parents, they were her Inlaws! Also, we at times couldn't hear what Than was saying. The Skype Connection was cutting out & garbled at times. Not sure if you heard all those problems with his speaking or not. Great show!

  • OilersBlues #FreeMcDavid (@OilersBlues) reported

    @Kratzey16 @ByMHarrington When Ralph was coach of the Oilers, he asked management to bring in an associate to help, and during that interview for an associate, they interviewed Dallas Eakins. Ralph was then fired on Skype for reasons, and was never given a fair shake.

  • Son0fMogh Jesse Shoghi (@Son0fMogh) reported

    Yo now discords down? Have to go back to skype :( #DiscordServer

  • ollybits Ollybits (Olivia) - 🎨Pixel Art Painter (@ollybits) reported

    @CeddyOrNot Depending on the programs you have on the pc, it can **** with your settings. I’ve seen issues where a Skype update for example messes up your input settings even when you didn’t manually update or open the programs. It’s stupid.
