I mean like the sounds, there's a betterdiscord plugin that lets you change discords sounds

Now I don’t wanna see y’all crashing out, shaking, and sobbing because of this 🙄

Skype was cooked way before the pandemic. At least for professional and enterprise users.

Same. Skype and Germ-X.

They moved all the features into Teams, it's less a ball drop & more shutting down a service that’s not their focus.

Lemme tell you the sad tale of Blockbuster Video

Blackberry comes to mind.

Even with their existing infrastructure to make it happen more easily, it's a hard sell. And the dot com bubble didn't help at all in confidence in online stores. Amazon is lucky as hell to become what it is though. Sears just wasn't interested in that business transition that would cost so much.

I mean, that was a failure from the start. Skype was the go-to VOIP and group messaging app for quite a while.

Aw man, my friends and I still use Skype

oh darn use this most weeks

I am not surprised since discord kinda replaced Skype...

F

Just uninstall it

Wait… why? Skype was awesome back in the day — and honestly just needed a more social refresh to keep people invested in its service. It’s a shame to see it go, but hey, nothing good in life ever lasts forever! To cheers to a fond legacy 🥂

Damnn I thought I was old for MSN and myspace but now I feel even older!😂

Omg that was the platform for business was the BANE of my existence and never worked when I needed it to. I hate Skype and was glad I never had to use it again.

End of an era man

When my husband and I first met, we used to skype, you know to talk lol. I'm pretty sure I haven't logged in in about a decade. RIP Skype.

They made my family complain to me about going over our data cap. This was back in 2014.

the end of an era

It should be X….

Noooooooo! I have $6 left. Will they send me a check?

zoom didnt do anything, skype was already well dead by the time it popped up. by 2018-2019, it was hardly being used outside of businesses that havent gotten with the times

They killed themselves. They messed with a good, simple, reliable app, which made it possible for others to swoop in. I miss the old Skype, which I used frequently, before Microsoft bought it. From that point on it was mostly frustration and I finally gave up.

💔😉

Oh-ow!!!!

Exactly the same. Still is.

Skype for business was actually shut down back in 2021

About time she was out of her misery

Sad!

Tumblr lives forever I don’t use Skype anymore it’s boring

been an near-unuseable, laggy mess since the early 2010s and was displaced by much better competitors. good riddance.

Gagged

oh no! skype is how my elderly mom in japan phones her bank in the states 😬

Skype - The worst open goal miss in human history.

End of an era

If you're still on the same computer they're probably still in your app data folder. You can retrieve the databases and open them with some specialized viewers.

I was too young to really use Skype before discord came around but I'm still sad about this

My childhood 🥺 lol

WHAT?! WHY?!?!

How they fucked up with such a good opportunity with the pandemic is beyond me

Wow, end of an era

Damn

SIGMS SPIT YO SHIT 🗣🗣🔊🔊🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Whelp, no more mysterious notifications of it launching on its own.

Good riddance, I tried uninstalling it and it just kept coming back within the hour

Same here, I stopped using it not long after Microsoft took it over because they basically broke it. It was almost unusable for months and the interface kept changing. Skype was simple, reliable, and useful before it was bought out. By making it unreliable they opened the door to competing apps.

for what it used to be, o7

It was fun while it lasted.

I thought it was shut down years ago in favour of teams.

Can I have its logo?

Skype my beloved

I mean, it's been dead for almost a decade now, but rest in peace x)

Go see "The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie", in theaters March 14

@ozlander.bsky.social ;~; RIP in Chats

NOOOO 💔💔💔

I HATE IT!!!

Thank you for being part of our lives over the past 21 years. Rest in peace Skype, thanks for the memories.

I don’t understand why they didn’t just use the Skype brand for Teams

Yeah, that makes sense.
