Beware

[Vendetta]

I came home to my Skype sending out links once I turned on my PC so I assume it was compromised. Do not click anything.

Can I swear on the forums yet?

That's been a problem for Skype for a while. One of many reasons I stopped using it a while back.

Discovery still using Skype in 2018 absolutely astounds me.

Use Discord, y'all. Infinitely less crap in all facets.

Skype.
Pros:
Still used by a lot of people in Discovery.

Cons:
Ad-infested.
Filled with hackers.
Calls drop or lose clarity randomly.
Tries at every opportunity to force-update to a newer version (Which is usually worse).

Discord.
Pros:
Good call quality.
Can set multiple sub-channels within one channel, both text and voice.
Ad-free!
Dark default theme. Great on the eyes during late-night chatter!

Cons:
For some reason, not widely adopted by Discovery, yet?

Make the switch, folks! Discord all the way!

My thoughts regarding the above post's Skype cons:

Skype ads are easily disabled. I haven't seen a single one in years.
I've never had a Skype account hacked. A Skype account being hacked is not down to the program but to user error.
Never used Skype for calls, never had to. Voice is what I use the teamspeak server for.
Everything tries to force updates. I ignore everything.

Maybe Skype is "better" and maybe Discord is "better", I don't know. What I do know is that other than perhaps memory use, the perceived faults Skype has don't really exist.

Skype for 1 on 1 channels works just fine, discord is a ton better for managing groups of people or having a conversation about multiple topics. You're also going to use a lot less resources running Discord with or without voice than running skype alongside teamspeak
