Agreed, it's infuriating. As are Skype's continual efforts to get me to follow interest channels. Why can't it just be a communications app, and leave it at that? Aaaaarrrggghhh!!!

- I'm surprised anyone still uses Skype tbh

  It's a work thing for me, I wouldn't use it otherwise.
  
  I find it useful for what it's actually meant for, but they keep trying to force other functionality into it, it's so frustrating.

I've used Skype. It was not just "mildly" infuriating, and that was before copilot.

- It used to be really good, but then Microsoft bought it and almost immediately ruined it.

  It went from direct connections between user computers to all routing through Micrsoft's centralized servers. I wonder why everyone started having connection and lag issues after that.

  I wouldn't call it "good." It was usable

Skype still exists?!

- Officially, but it hasn't really been Skype for at least a decade and a half..

  Image still using Skype in 2024. Why, just why?

Who uses Skype?

19
- Corporate, companies that bought all-in into MS ecosystem. Which is weird that they added this to the mobile client as Skype for business is ending support in 2025, it's supposed to be replaced by Teams, which it not ready BTW. So, I don't know what any of these is supposed to do, perhaps just rake in more data before the service dies for good?

  Trial on people who they don't care about upsetting.

  What is Teams missing? I'm not familiar with the mobile app, but the desktop client eclipsed Skype ages ago (except for scrolling back through old messages).

- Dunno, I'm just a humble cross poster who hasn't for a decade plus change 🤷

- I use Skype for my meetings, as well as teams. They’re both awful in different ways.
  
  It’s difficult for me to find a (free) software that clients can install and be device/OS agnostic.
  
  Using browser based calling services has proved to be a real challenge with non tech-literate people. The amount of wasted time on, “oh my mic/cam was working yesterday” type situations.

  I really love jitsi.

  While I agree that Mic am not working can be difficult to work out with none technical people I have that experience with Teams every day. I work in IT, as do my colleagues and every morning the first call goes like "Can you hear me now?" "Gotta switch the mic." ...this is on teams on Windows/Mac and Linux ... So in my anecdotal experience browser based solutions are no better or worse

  I use Nextcloud Talk. You also can share files and other content plus it has a lot of cool features

File my tax, wash a car, press A to not die...

It's a loading screen of exploitation.

"Taiwan's strongest earthquake" sounds like a variation of those "strongest soldier" memes

- Earthquake:"Why must you give me the shakiest ground?"
  
  Taiwan:"Because you're my strongest earthquake"
