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)
Teams died for Teams (New)
Teams will die for Copilot somehow.
And MSN was so much better.
Teams dying doesn’t sound too bad either. Just hoping the next iteration isn’t even worse
Given M$'s track record, it definitely will be worse…
Next iteration will be MSN Messenger
great, now do teams.
nobody should have to use that ugly useless piece of shit for anything.
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 used Skype a couple of times - I was talking to someone overseas. This was pre zoom. It’s interesting that they dropped the ball, they could have been zoom.
I remember the “old” Skype, which was essential for keeping in touch with my siblings before we got cell phones. Once I got a phone, it was the end of Skype until ~2014 when I got a job where Skype for business was available. I still didn’t use it because that application would sometimes crash if you just jiggled the mouse. It became a running joke at my workplace.
Clock into work, Skype crashed.
Go to lunch, Skype crashed.
Ran out of TP at home. You guessed it. Skype crashed.
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”
I want to put Skype’s corpse on a banner and wave it around to all the software that’s currently undergoing enshittification.
Can I guess that the American amoral capitalist company won’t have transferred my Skype credit?
I had like $9.22 remaining credit from some international calls back in 2002 I was going to use…eventually.

I actually had a Skype phone back in the days
Skype you later!
Not really. It’s just called “Teams” now.
Who?
Wait, Skype was still around? I thought it shutdown a few years back
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.
Everyone cashed out on Skype the day it was sold to eBay. Years later people are still wondering what happened to it?? The train left the station forever ago.
