WhatsApp (& mobile internet in general) replaced it for me. It's no longer a requirement for both my friends and myself to be at our computers at the same time to talk shit to each other.

Messenger-> Office Communicator -> Lync -> Skype for Business -> Teams. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_for_Business

Wonder who was the last of your friends to log on are they still there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

In a way, i think we're all still there

Where else am I going to share the fun stuff I find with StumbleUpon?

That’s ok, we have teams now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Fuck all y'all....I like teams, for work.

give me back messenger. at least it was a cohesive usable app.

teams is just a low budget email emulation machine that still fails to deliver a functioning inbox, much like outlook.

I'd rather drag my dick through HIV riddled discord memes then use that rotting pile of shit called teams.

The browser versions of teams and outlook are surprisingly stable. The desktop software for both are beyond broken.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I agree, though stability doesn't make an app usable.

True, but it's the only thing you can do if your company forces you to use them...

Microsoft Teams is sorta like the all grown up version of MSN, with the colour drained from it and “fun” features out of the box feeling dead on the inside

Just like a real adult human
