does Skype closure effect you?

03-03-2025, 10:04 AM

So how´s the Skype closure going to effect you?

For skyprivate, I read teams app & discord could be an answer...

for me, I prefer whats app & telegram anyway, they both run well on my phone & laptop, I cam & use the service for cam 2 cam & other private networking on these apps.

Skype will just move over to Teams, with all contacts and conversations.

We're migrating to WhatsApp, we all use it here but never integrated into the business side of things, guess we'll see how it works over the next year or so for business stuff, not just personal use.

Yeah sucks. I hate having to learn new stuff. I looked at teams and whatsapp and so far not happy with either but could be me. From what I can see people have to have your number for whatsapp.

WhatsApp seems to be the most natural crossover for "personal" conversations, but I'm having a difficult time seeing it as a business solution. What about the office of people using Skype to communicate with clients? They cannot be expected to connect that to their personal phone number.

I've always found Teams to be annoying, so I don't see that as a reasonable crossover either.

Messengers have changed so many times over the years. I remember starting with ICQ, and then AIM, and Yahoo. Eventually using all of them on Trillian.

Skype has been my go to for a long time now, only bummer is having to organize my list again.

You just unlocked a 2007 memory for me with Trillian. I thought it was so cool to combine all these chat programs into one.

I also remember starting on IRC, super old school.

I will miss Skype - I remember when I first discovered it wayyyyyyyy back in the day. I think it was the only service at the time that allowed real-time voice calls. Game-changing back in the day...!

Seems the majority of those I speak with are changing over to Telegram, Signal or WhatsApp with Telegram being the favorite

I find that interesting since apparently there was an easy transition of contacts and chat to MS Teams but no one wants to take it.

My heart sang when I first entered #Bondage and #Femdom on IRC... 1994.

As for Skype, I just don't get much call for it. I don't have to deal with American long distance charges on my cell service. I text from my desktop. The video side was handy for some personal stuff which can be handled on Marco Polo, Zoom, FaceTime and even Facebook. If anything industry related it was handy to work around gatekeeping.

I've used Skype professionally and personally for decades. I believe this is a shortsighted mistake, but this is normal behavior for big tech.

For clients with teams, I will have them migrate to Slack or Discord if they're up for it.

I think some clients will want me to setup self-hosted Jitsi environments for video calling.

Skype has been absolute garbage for years, especially the mobile app. I still use it though, so this change is kind of a bummer.

How are these apps not profitable? Why is WhatsApp a billion dollar app... yet:

MSN Messenger shut down
ICQ shut down
Skype shut down

Old messengers were PC-based. WhatsApp and others focused on mobile first, which is where communication shifted.

would be great for a discord GFY room

you can try theporndude´s discord or come to the skyprivate room for live cam shows, but not sure where you can arrange like fun times for meeting, maybe an AFF discord room or just go on AFF and chat in their chat rooms
