TFW i use skype only because my work require this.
IRC >>> skype

irc doesn't have voIP though
There is one reason why you should never compare Skype to any other VoIP and that is the fact that it's made for video calls and business group calls, not weeb gamers.
You see, Skype is shit at managing big groups of people and has serious memleak issues on top of a myriad of bugs that Microsoft just doesn't want to fix for shit, BUT the sheer reliability of the program and the fact that it has such call quality is what makes me use it to this day. You can't beat the fact that Skype somehow still works when your ISP goes to shit and cuts your Internet, as if it was running on magic, whilst other programs spontaneously combust.
Discord is primarily meant to be a big group call program, where you can manage even multiple big groups without any issues, so the ONLY way to compare it to Skype is its sound quality. I personally don't use Discord so I can't claim that Skype is better or worse, but so far compared to other programs I've used, Skype took the cake in the sound quality department below the 50-hour call mark. After 50 hours, it's another story altogether.
Most of the shit arguments I see about any VoIP is fanboyism. X is better because my mum says so.

I still use skype because non of my skype contacts use discord. I wish they used discord, but they are still stuck in the old era where Windows XP was a thing. If there was an option to use my skype contacts in discord, I would mutilate my skype in a heartbeat.
I have both
skype uses p2p instead of connecting to a server that's the difference.Aurani wrote:

also most big companies develop their own VoIP solution
Then why the fuck is the quality of audio I get in skype worse than the quality of video I can stream on Youtube???Mr Color wrote:

I don't know what kind of forest you live in to have a shitty audio quality (unless you're in a 100+ hour call with 4 other people) mate. I haven't had any audio quality problems for years now, and trust me, I'd have ditched Skype a long time ago solely based on audio quality, had it been shit. I can't stand it if I talk to another person and can't hold a proper conversation.
The only reason to even remain on skype is for the people who don't have discord yet
Discord is superior in every way
Also OP fucking reply to my PM and shit

It still means skype is more reliable to connect to other people
Or it just means your internet is unreliable :^)
And yet still able to use skype in those moments.

answering the original question:
Considering that skype is a giant steaming pile or shit you just need something thats slightly less steaming pile of a shit, while still being a fairly large steaming pile of shit, to be better than skype and thus by all logic replace it.
That slightly less steaming pile of shit might just be discord.
That doesn't mean it's not a pile of steaming shit.

I just imagined IppE saying that in his own voice.
