So microsoft bought skype, made it terrible and unpopular, and now they're going to buy discord? 🤔I wonder what's going to happen to discord in a couple of years if that happens.

@nickjcal Remember how Skype was actually pretty good when it was independent? More realistic outline would be: buy Discord, kill Skype, make Discord as terrible as Skype is now

@MemesThatsIt @lantastictv @Slasher They've ruined Skype so they have a record of being terrible at managing messaging platforms.

@Slasher Yuck. The problem with Microsoft buying software is that they don’t understand that discord or Skype is a product and they treat everything they buy as a feature of windows instead of a true product and they ruin it.

@SJBsMama What are they, a social platform vampire? Sucked Skype dry, needs a new fix?

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.

IDK why everyone is talking about Skype again but thinking back on it feels like such a mix of dread and nostalgia, whenever stuff went down on skype it was always Extremely Wild

@titan_frosty @Slasher You should be able to wait because Microsoft's history is of running Skype into the ground. Also trickle down economics is a lie.

@Skype Hi. I have in the past used Skype to make a phone call in Albania. I don't understand why I need to go through an issue troubleshooting this time to make a phone call to a number that I never dialed before. I point out that I never called it before to show that there was no reasn

Their interest in Discord more than likely entirely rests on the massive user base & in turn data. How quickly did MS change the privacy/data collection on Skype after acquiring it? How quickly did it become a lagy broken garbage because of the **** they added for data sniff?

This is also the company that ****** minecrafts login page in the *** when they decided that you need an MS account for minecraft. This is also the company that assraped skype to death. This is also the company that charges you $60 a year to use other peoples online servers.

reskinning skype to be "discord for business" and shunting everything one position down the line

@Skype for me to have blocked it. I was very willing to pay for the call with money, but not also with the time to troubleshoot this kind of issue, and this is why I did not reply to your earlier tweet. Thanks.

@idrykk I mean. Can't fix Skype, so why not buy the working product, dissolve it and relaunch Skype in it's place. Was the 1st thing I thought of.

@Slasher such a large part of my video game world collapsed when MSN shut down overnight and tried (unsuccessfully) to force everything into skype

@__caprica Still remember when they bought skype and drove it into the ground. They'd rather just burn cash to buy something new than fix what they have.

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.

@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.

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

At the very least integrate the group features in Teams (Personal). And while on that boat, I'd retire the current Teams (Personal) app. And GroupMe. And Skype. Part of Microsoft's issue is that it has too many messaging apps. They should whittle it down to no more than two.

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

@XcloudTimdog I guess it becomes obsolete, sad to say. Anytime Xbox live party's were down my friends and I would hop on Skype until it was fixed.

@Amoirsp yes but skype is now a technically pay for service deal if you are using it as a group chat you are going to pay 5-10 dollars depending on whats your deal

@hEnereyG Ugh. I remember when they acquired Skype. It went from a fun way to talk to people to a giant pain in the *** I had to uninstall. I don’t even use Discord at the moment and I think this is terrible news.

i will be so disappointed if @discord sells to microsoft, since their entire app was a **** you to skype and how terrible Microsoft let it get.
