What's so shitty about it? It's got it's weird glitches but it seems fine. What are you looking for in an alternative?

So skype is a time machine?
Im using Discord, OP. It has a pretty interface, works well, nice chat with gif support, try it out and presents it to your friends!
tell your friends skype leaks all your information and if you send nudes or whatever everyone can see
tell them to use telegram instead
>>52023322
but telegram doesn't do VOIP does it?
>>52023340
i guess google hangouts? or mumble? i use mumble for voip. telegram for friends and slack for work. when we have to, google hangouts.

Over last summer my friends and I were using Skype because we couldn't find a good alternative we all liked, until I heard about Discord. I installed it and ironically (at the time) suggested they all install it too. For some reason they did and we've been using it since. It has a nice, clean interface and some really convenient features.

Don't
you'll look autistic
find new friends

It happened to me and my friends exactly this way. I am pretty comfortable with discord!

Really old code with lots of vulnerabilities and uses data more than it needs. Best example of a shitty proprietary software everyone uses because meh it innovated video calling. I got all my friends to switch to hangouts.

>on /g/
>has friends
You want reddit.com. Go ahead, type it. People are nice there. They have friends too.
Tell them that no one will have to host a call if you're using something like Teamspeak, so if the host has a dodgy connection; the call won't be laggy. Furthermore, push-to-talk and voice detection is a huge advantage as it doesn't pick up much background noise.

using a different proprietary program doesn't solve the issues
