MSN messenger died for Skype

Skype died for Teams

We're not on a great trajectory here

(Yes Lync too, but everyone was pleased about that)

great, now do teams.

nobody should have to use that ugly useless piece of shit for anything.

It was dead to me after microsoft bought it.

I fell out of contact with a lot of people when they shuttered MSN messenger for Skype, so not sad to see it go.

On one hand, having been forced to use Skype, I’m happy to see it gone. On the other hand, they somehow made it worse and called it Teams.

Somebody send a gift basket to the Skype CEO, he's not doing so well.

It’s sad… Skype saved my butt when I was stuck in Peru and needed to call for help in my home country. I had found out 1-800 lines didn’t use call credits

I'm 39. So I've been around Skype since it came out back in 2003. Since then, 22 years later I didn't use it a single time. Never downloaded the program, app or accessed the webpage. 🤷

I find it funny Microsoft gave me a survey on my work PC asking about how I'm enjoying its products (I laughed in Linux, "how do you like windows customizablity" let me go off about KDE lol)

But back to the subject. Literally everything they work on seems to turn to shit

I wonder what kind of survey feedback are they usually getting? "Oh, Skypes cool but I really like Teams"

Truthfully I loved Skype until Microsoft bought it.

Can I guess that the American amoral capitalist company won’t have transferred my Skype credit?

Story of the times, have a good thing then break it so you can replace it with a shitier thing. Then have the competition eat your lunch by making a slightly less shitty thing.

I found my physical "skipe" phone last week, dang it we could have had a bad bitch. But no, now we have fucking teams.

skype was way ahead of his time. The quality was top notch. MS fucked by changing the architecture from decentralized to centralized in windows servers - this fucked up the calls quality and it created an opportunity window for whatsapp, viber, etc...

MS turned skype to shit.

I want to put Skype's corpse on a banner and wave it around to all the software that's currently undergoing enshittification.

Immigration Canada wanted proof of my wife and I's relationship, so we dumped a packet of printed call logs on them as thick as a novel. Skype certainly served its purpose.

I never really used Skype as a VOIP platform, but it was a great tool for many years for calling international phone numbers affordably. I'm sure it helped many people saving a lot of money calling their friends and relatives. For that I remember it somewhat fondly.

For us plebs. Government (US) will still use it for years to come.
