     I seriously do not remember which decade I stopped using that. So, yeah, bye. 🤷

     AFAIK you can't use Signal to call actual phone numbers, which was the only reason why I used Skype in the past (cheaper international calls). I haven't had that need in a long time, so I don't know what replaces that feature these days.

     @AAKL @jerry I think we can agree that both are garbage.

     @odr_k4tana @jerry The only argument for Skype is that it was cheap for calls anywhere in the world.

     @jerry The question is: is Teams actually better or just snoopier and more AI-infused?

     To talk to people in other countries that also have Signal? Of course. I just can't call a business/land line with that.

     @badnetmask @odr_k4tana @jerry Did you ever use Signal for international numbers?
