Discord > Skype

It depends on what you want to do. If you just want to talk with friend (and even more so with non-technical) then Skype is not as bad and is much easier.
However if you want to talk with friends during playing games then only Discord or TeamSpeak 3. Reason is simply: lower resources usage and voice activation. You don't have to listen friend room noise

Some fun fact: I want to talk with Discord mobile first time on the loudspeaker without holding the phone to ear so I volumed it up to the max and... I was confused why this is so quiet. Some days later I recognized that I must change output to the loudspeaker in options and previously it was just speaker from conversations with phone near the ear :lol:

I mean, at this point at time, id argue that discord is better than anything, available online instead of as a program, has groups, better ui, better quality sound, etc..

I rather use Discord, since it's cleaner & much better.

Thanks for the response! Discord is much cleaner and feels much nicer to use.

I had to reinstall skype due to my boss not liking discord (for whatever reason) but I agree, discord is much better.

Yes, you are definitely right and in everyday use I have more interaction and talks on Discord but Skype is not dead too.
I associate Discordmore with gaming community and I also love to have interactions here with streamers which I'm watching on Twitch too

Discord has done a really good job in both their design and marketing choices so far. I think Slack and Discord will continue becoming more popular, as they're just that much better than other communication tools - Slack for business, and Discord for informal communications and communities.

Definitely yes and which is the most good - Discordbroke the teamspeak monopoly. No more paying sick prices for licenses

I think old people still use Skype. Discord is more for the younger audience in my opinion.

Who use Skype in 2018 bro? Serious yes i think discord is better for the gaming
