    I'm supposed to tutor two kids tomorrow via Skype but the wifi has been down since noon 😭😭 hopefully it'll work again in the morning

  • RajivShah01 Rajiv Shah (@RajivShah01) reported

    @advicepig @nocksies @IanColdwater I heard they use Skype when Slack is down, but I can’t find the article

  • lukedowden Luke Dowden, Ed.D. (@lukedowden) reported

    When it is your fist day back at work and @SlackHQ goes down and @Skype is not cooperating - thinking - “really is the a sign of things to come in 2021?” 🤞🏼

  • MrAnnual Coach (@MrAnnual) reported

    Looks like Slack is down today. We still got good ol Skype tho

  • sergiol1979 Sergio Longoria (@sergiol1979) reported

    @HeresKellie Then he remembers Microsoft Teams is still not as great even with a Slack outage and Skype for Business is the equivalent to Myspace now.

  • MpiR_Music MpiR (@MpiR_Music) reported

    @SkypeSupport @Skype What is wrong with you? Do you think I have nothing else to do as to play a verification game for a skype account that fails every time? You got my email and I provided the code. The game is not working for me. What now?

  • judicialist The Judicialist (@judicialist) reported

    @PunsUnfunny Slack is a chat app, like Skype, that most of the tech industry uses. With everybody working remotely, Slack being down means that a LOT of work is slowing to a crawl.

  • CognitiveIdeal Will (@CognitiveIdeal) reported

    @bt_uk Tried all sorts of fault finding. Replacement set was ordered, delivered this morning and is now working. Therefore not a BT problem but her equipment failure. Troubleshooting with a 90 year old via Skype was challenging...

  • GGNydrA Radoslav Kolev (@GGNydrA) reported

    You know what’s not down? Skype. Just saying...

  • hammen Robert Hammen (@hammen) reported

    @bbezanson Oh, I’m intimately familiar with that product. It’s like someone developed a chat app, by viewing screen shots of Slack, but never actually using it. Terrible Electron app on macOS and Windows. Limited by Exchange/Sharepoint/OneDrive/Skype for Business infrastructure.

  • 20tibbygt06 Luis E. Aguilar (@20tibbygt06) reported

    Slack is down so we're on Skype. Lol it's going to be a long day. I had to look up how to mute Skype.

  • trent_langley Trent Langley (@trent_langley) reported

    @insertcoindoc Haha - I restarted my computer twice thinking it was me before I was able to see the server error response from Slack. I guess we're going the email string route since the rest of the team is avoiding Skype... because broken Slack is better than Skype? Happy Monday!

  • dfazman Brian :Anti-Racist/Pro-Fairness: (@dfazman) reported

    Surprised Skype's login screen today doesn't say, "oh, so that tramp Slack is down and now you come running, huh?"

  • krzysdan Kris Dante Daniel (@krzysdan) reported

    @SlackHQ Slack is the new Skype. We dropped Skype a long t ime ago because of the connection issues.

  • DexTheDragon Dex 🔞 (@DexTheDragon) reported

    @gc_arilin so many years they’ve had to fix things since MS stopped doing IE exclusive things the only thing we still have to use IE for at work now is the old skype for business server, because they made the web console use silverlight which no modern browser seems to support
