--Err.

Are you sure you know what you're talking about..?

Free model? lol

aol was always shit but people used it lol

It was never free. s:

*Ever*

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?
