If you’re using Skype you should dump it and get Discord instead!
Pros:
- Cleaner, easier to navigate interface
- Free servers for more permanent group chat things (way easier to hop in and out of chats)
- You can actually have different nicknames on each server if you want
- Is actually well built and doesn’t make your computer yearn for death
Stuff coming down the pipeline soon according to devs:
- Video chat
- Linux client
Cons:
- All your friends aren’t on it
- But you can change that
Download it. It’s great and it’s only getting better. It’s aimed at gamers but it has nearly all the functionality of Skype and then some.
my group just switched over, and I gotta say, It’s much smoother and more accommodating than Skype ever was. You can also tell what games people are playing which is really handy.
