What are those first three. Is that first one Skype and third GitHub? I use it all the time but MS Teams can basically replace it for work and for personal use apple users have better options so Im sure android users have some google thing.

I didnt know Microsoft was involved in GitHub. When did that happen? I guess I can just google.

MS' purchase of Mojang hasn't been bad, but Skype is incomprehensibly awful now, which is precisely why I've switched to Discord. If this goes through, I see a Discord competitor popping up rather quickly that a sizable portion of Discord's current base flocks to.

Most people will tell you the purpose of a start-up is to get bought by another company and get the hell out. So in that sense, good for the owners of Discord.

IDK, I don't use it so I don't care if Microsoft buys them.

I can't think of a single person who is.

The only complaints I've ever really heard about Minecraft post-acquisition is that they don't seem overly enthusiastic about supporting Minecraft for the PS4, but even that never wound up being as big an issue as people doomsayer'd when the sale first happened.

That feels like a wet dream for google. The amount of data collection for ad purposes would be insane.

I thought the purpose of a start up is to make it big? Every big company was a start up at some point

I only started using it a few years ago (so after the buyout I think), but it has consistently been the better of the video chat applications for me.

And that happens to what, 1% of them at most? Even then, half of them don't even retain their original owners by the time they become big. They are long gone and have moved on to other ventures. The type of people who create start-ups are not the kind of people who want to be CEOs and answer to a board of directors.

It's bloated, riddled with buggy ads (which have triggered virus warnings for me on occasion), and the call quality has a bad habit of degrading over time. Switching to Discord was very much not a hard sell.
