Well, I do have a Windows Phone but I almost never use it.
I also have a slow connection though so that would be it then
Quote:Most people don't like the voice/video calls. I get that you do.
Am I the only one who does, do you think?
Quote: Slack does have an option to call others, but not groups, unless you get the premium version.
Am I the only one who enjoyed the group Cards Against Humanity voice calls?
Quote: I have no interest/time for that.
Which is fine! I just wonder if I'm alone here with the enjoying the group voice calls we used to have.
Quote: Slack is a pure chat app, which is all I want for a group chat area.
Fair enough. I find it more boring that voice.
Quote: I like that it is like IRC.
Me too.
Quote: I can schedule sleep time for notifications in Slack. I can more easily sleep notifications in Slack outside of my scheduled sleep times. I also use Slack for other things, including professionally, so I am in it more than Skype.
Yeah. So we differ there.
This is all me about wondering if I'm the only one who misses the AF Skype Group calls! Am I the only one? All this time I thought everyone loved it as much as me
Quote:I like the different rooms in Slack.
Me too.
Quote: I like that it is web based as well as app based.
Me too.
Quote: I can sign in on any computer, I don't have to have a Windows app installed, and the web app actually works, unlike Skype, who tries to funnel all of their activity to the Windows app.
Yeah that's all awesome.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Slack and I think it's awesome, and it's been lagging less lately... and even with a little lag on my side... it's STILL awesome.
I just really really miss the AF Group Voice Calls... and I didn't realize I was the only one who loved them so much. Am I the only one who absolutely loved the fuck out of all the AF Group Voice Calls on Skype? It felt so much more real and sociable to me. I love hearing my friends speak.
