Whoopi was like I probably can do Skype, Jot probably was like, my Internet not working. 🤣🤣🤣

If Discord goes down, I'm afraid we're gonna have to invent Star Trek teleportation bc I'm not migrating again, ICQ > MSN > IRC > Skype > Discord was enough.

i just realised i have skype installed on my current phone even tho it shut down… but i havent used it since i was like 13 and i got my current phone two years ago so idk how it got on here in the first place???

back in the early days of ethereum skype servers went down and development on ethereum had to halt time is a flat circle

I’m not saying the shutting down of Skype is THE reason why after a lifetime of being a Windows user I finally went full-Apple. But Microsoft certainly shot straight to the top of my shitlist for this. https://t.co/ux5R0qfs2B

.@ThreeUK anyone else who can’t make and receive calls because of the Three outage, try using @Viber Audio, I did and it showed my number on the other end too, I usually would use @Skype before but we know that’s no more.

Hey @NazaninNour just a quick question for you or your bubble: since the iranian internet is down and skype is defunct - what can Iranians abroad use to call home? Viber has an Iran plan that seems expensive, but maybe it's the only thing that works? Thanks!

Technology is against me today. Woke up to email not working as someone tried to access it and now I can’t get it back because I can’t remember my Skype name from 20 years ago. And now my Apple Watch wants to act up and may be shot. What a day.

I feel your service should never be pay to use @Zoom but because it’s now pay to use you’re giving way for anyone to come in and offer a new free app with all the giving your app has plus a better interface which will make zoom go down like @Skype did
