The ICQ messaging app is shutting down on June 26th, marking the end of a much-beloved communication application.

    Out of everything we have today, Discord is arguably the best we’ve got.

    Nobody cares about Skype anymore as much. VK Messenger, which is ICQ’s successor, looks like trash. Telegram used to be very great but did take some morally questionable steps, yet still gives the user an awful lot of power. Zoom is garbage. Microsoft Teams is garbage. Facebook Messenger is garbage.

    So if I had to pick, Discord and Telegram is the best we’ve got now.

        These three are still the best bet.

        I made the observation last week at work. As my teams starts to move from Slack to (ahem) Teams, it’s worth noting that the internal IRC still works.

        Groups etc. are not the same there, specifically for privacy/encryption reasons.

      That’s amazingly depressing.

      Signal looked good, but no one uses it. :(
