And for everyone else who wants to completely drop Skype for a plethora of reasons (updates, adware, bots, ads, resource usage etc), they can't because one or two people in their faction chats or whatever won't make the switch. It's incredibly frustrating, having to go out of your way for them, because they stubbornly refuse to get Discord. You can even use Discord in your browser without having to download the app. Yet people don't even do that.
That I don't speak to the majority of the Community, then staying on Skype isn't going to make much difference, to me, then.
Lyth, if you don't want to talk to me on Skype, then I am happy to remove you from the contacts and if you need to talk to me, then there is the good old reliable pms.
You are happy with Discord (until something, in your opinion, comes along that is better), then good luck to you. Just because a majority of people, supposedly, say that Discord is the bees-knees, doesn't make it so. Have a read up on 'Sheep Mentality Studies' (also known as Herd Mentality). The majority isn't always right.
Let people use what ever form of communication they want and if it is too big a problem for you, don't speak to them. I don't want to be accused of holding you back.

As for this, I don't want another form of communication cluttering up my day. I have enough to read on Skype without having to read things on Discord as well.
'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person
