Seeing the back end tech behind it, and probably discord nitro.

If this happens it's time to look for another chat/voice server software which isn't ms...

It might, it might not.
Until the deal is signed, look for alternatives.
You're not married or signed a contract with any application or service.
Get over it, the tech is based on moving sands.
Very few things are more enduring than others, it's just the way it is.

I was wondering why you mentioned TenCent and a quick search shows they were early investors... oh hell no, I hope they own near none of it. 100% with you on this, I'd rather give MS all my data than give those pondscum monsters at TenCent any info at all. Assuming they haven't mined Discord user data illegally already. I've went out of my way to avoid TenCent owned anything. Those bastards have their tendrils in everything it seems.

Totally agree with all of you about this Microsoft destroyed Skype, Teams and are now looking at a beloved Discord for gamers! It won't be the same and you will probably have to pay for Discord after this!

Buying the users and their data seems like the most likely reason. Microsoft can kill Discord for all I care.

Whoa, what a jump scare 😀

Strong disagree with Teams. I think it's the best product Microsoft's released in decades. It has some teething issues but that's to be expected with something developed so rapidly.

I dont really use discord and when I need to I use webbased verison, but I shutter at the thought that MS get there hand on discord to intrergrate it to system of "we are borg, resitance is futile"

I've been complaining about call quality issues on Discord for years, only in the last 6 months has it stabilised. If they could use Discord with a Skype backend that would be awesome as the call quality on Skype is second to none.
Anyways I'm sure they'll keep Discord as it is and perhaps bring an Xbox app forwards.

To be honest, Discord has a tad unclear user interface and sometimes there are disconnections. I really don't see the appeal over TeamSpeak 3 other than Discord is easier to set up (though you have to make an account and add friends). I guess Discord is invaluable for some parties like for big gaming communities, but personally I play only with few people at a time so I don't need Discord for any particular reason. I also prefer the good old interface of TeamSpeak 3, but what Discord really has over many voice call applications is the mobile version.
Like @anticupidon said, you are not tied to any particular application and there are often lots of alternatives, so just download something better if Discord gets wasted, which I really doubt.

For pro it's a good product and have done a great success these days with working at home.

Looks like a deal for $12 billion didn't convince Discord.

"Microsoft is said to be in talks with Microsoft about an acquisition worth $ 10 billion (8.3 billion euros), Bloomberg news agency reports Tuesday."
Was this copy pasta?
