Goodbye Skype: Microsoft has officially shut it down 👋 While Skype revolutionized communication, it had some privacy issues:
• No E2EE (end-to-end encryption) by default
• 3rd-party data sharing
• Cooperation with surveillance programs
• Closed-source
This shutdown is the perfect opportunity to migrate to more secure, privacy-respecting alternatives!
Among which: Keet, SimpleX and Jitsi (although now Jitsi requires the call's host to provide it with an email...).

Yes, I saw the news too, but honestly, I prefer other apps. Skype was complicated for me.
Okay!
I wouldn't have used it anyway, mainly due to its privacy flaws.
Which ones do you use?
