minus-squareDiddlydee@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up111arrow-down2·1 day agoSkype died years ago. It was awful and rarely worked.
minus-squarecorsicanguppy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·6 hours ago It was awful and rarely worked. You have confused it with Lynx, the product derived from MSCommunicator and renamed Skype4biz. Regular skype was awesome; less so after MS swapped P2P for C2S but meh. Still better than teams, which, ironically, is where skype4biz went.
minus-squareKernelTale@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up41arrow-down1·1 day agoOnly after Microsoft bought it tho
minus-squarebizarroland@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up26·1 day agoYep, I was literally coming in to say that Skype was trashed the instant Microsoft bought it.

minus-squareHubertManne@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·21 hours agoI was trying to figure that out to. The original thing really got messed up. I swear you did not really need an account of any kind originally.
minus-squarejonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 day agoThe merge with the Microsoft account was never done properly and it means I’ve got like 3 different accounts that don’t fully work with Skype, Teams or whatever else you need Microsoft for. Good thing I rarely need any of them
minus-squareTurtleTourParty@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 day agoIt was decent on computers but they never managed to make a good mobile app. And then Microsoft made it much worse on computers.
