Are you getting it confused with another service?

What? What goalpost?

It was a free model since about 2006 i think? when they gave up on dialup subscriptions

Oh if it was that late in the game.

Maybe. I hadn't kept current.

I asked how it's a joke, and said the purpose of a company is to make money

lol what

That was 12 years ago.

Not current?

To which you replied "lol my friends use discord", which isn't a good quality metric

Discord is also shit, for the record

I'm not putting it up for a vote.

For many of the same reasons Skype is

People left Skype for Discord. Not up for a vote. Democracy doesn't decide this. This isn't a controversy

"People"

That's not a number

Every update made Skype worse. If you were unfortunate enough to click the updates, it was another nail in your foot.

Again, I'm not putting it up for a vote: Skype got worse and worse and worse. Discord improved constantly.

well i have a cousin who knows a racoon that was caught one time by a person who moved from discord to carrier pidgeon, ergo that is best

Skype still has broad usage, especially in the business world. It is still a successful product

Cause and effect was self-evident.

Lol no, discord is still trash

Disagree.

Not up for a vote.

I came here because aol stopped its service in december of 2017. skype was never a good alternative. it didn't do the same things as aol or discord

Right so use reasoning. What advantages are present in discord and not Skype, aside from the fact that discord is a different type of chat application

you can have an opinion on something, and yuo can have it no problem, but that does not mean it cant be right or wrong lmao

not up for a vote

You're going to dismiss this as unimportant

But LAG

Discord's lag is NOTHING on Skype's.

like fallacy thinking is people voting on things

There's still a lot of lag

Are there public/private servers made on skype, or just groups of previously contact-listed individuals that make up a group by themselevs?

top kek

this made my eventing lmao

off to bed

Good.

And the codecs are still shit compared to say, Mumble

xoxoxo

"Still a lot of lag"

Okay. I've never complained.

Because I remember skype.

"I've never complained, so it's good"
Fantastic reasoning

No.

The argument is that skype is bad, and microsoft is a terrible company.

Skype in the business world is skype for business which is actually just lync renamed and its phasing out for Teams

Do you think the cali ban applies to strawmen too?

yeah

Microsoft is not a terrible company...

The argument was also that discord "got good"

its just a company

Which never happened

Discord is better

And made improvements over time.

Teams is basically Microsoft's discord, but for businesses

Depends on what you're using it for

S4B gets used for a reason

Okay well here's one way Discord is way way better.

The search function?

s4b is pretty good

Skype's was never that useful.

Discord's search is fantastic.

you're thinking of home user skype

And for that matter, so is its block function.

It's really shit

I'm talking

I've searched the exact phrasing of a post and not found it

yeah its bad

teams is way better for searching

Anyway, the block function. WIth all other instant messengers, you'd block someone and forget about it. Because that list is tucked away in a place you never look otherwise.

Discord has taken the best approach to it possible.

Why is it a better approach?

If I don't want to interact with someone, why would I care if I forget about it?

Because reasons I won't bother explaining if you're just gonna bat it aside.

If I thought you were more reasonable, I'd bother. But you've been EXTREMELY rude to me.

Alright?

Your whole argument essentially boils down to "skype is bad and discord is good because I say so"

(And to answer the latter question: Because some people are blocked for less severe reasons than others, and people change.)

And now my disagreement is being written off as rudeness lol

Argue with that now, I guess.

Have fun.

>argue with my point while I refuse to talk to you due to tone policing
Masterful

beemann, dont bother. this is obviously babbies first discussion

rude lmao

So you would've argued with it?

Alright. The sun is not purple.

RUDE

**Argue.**

ON THE INTERNET

NO WAI

The sun is not purple. You're you. I have to be wrong. So say it is.

>if he disagrees with me, he must be a contrarian

_grabs popcorn_

Walmart is a joke.

I see we have fun tonight

On what basis

Microsoft is a joke.

Nepotism is bad.

On what basis
