skype, qq
You choose the one all others use.....
I use steam and teamspeak if that counts, and sometimes Skype.
Skype, just because I have to. For work only. And iMessage.
Telegram and ICQ
Does "Hangouts" count? :P
web.skype.com
I'm using LINE for PC.
QQ, IRC, google hangouts
Skype where required
Jabber primary, with OTR of course.
I also have a QQ account but it mainly runs in BG for the like 10 chats i have per year in it
icq via trillian
Looks interesting.
I use Skype and slowly moving to Telegram as it's securer and not providing the NSA with access.
IRC Most of the time, mumble for VOIP, self-hosted jitsi server for video chat, and the occasional skype call to that one family member that has no clue how to use a computer, and I doubt could figure out how to use other, more secure options.
web.skype.com and Steam. Telegram on Android if I really have to (but I didn't use for years now because simply all of my friends, relatives and etc use WhatsApp but I don't use WhatsCrap).
XMPP through Pidgin. In the rare case that I need audio/video calls, I use Jitsi Meet.
You'll probably want to reconsider that. From their 'privacy' policy:
skype is our main communication tool. It's not so bad, no real need to change anything so we just stick to it for now. Hangouts once in a while too
Slack only.
messages in os x for facebook/txt, sometimes IRC(colloquy)/Skype.
Skype !
Telegram
Skype only for work.
Slack
+1
IRC mostly. Skype and TeamSpeak a few times a year.
If I had to choose I would use IRC and XMPP exclusively, but I prefer email to IM.
MSN(microsoft messenger or what) was great back in the day. Then everybody I knew jumped on skype. But when facebook became popular, then everybody flew to facebook. Then around 10-11, I had to register on facebook, just talk to somebody I knew who wasn't on the messengers above. It's all about facebook, instagram and selfies these days. And from what I hear, the youngsters are using tinder for business calls.
god really, you use Slack even though you have other options? wtf.
The only reaosn why i use slack is because my employer forces me to do so...
I have all the other options on my tablet and mobiles. When I am working on PC, i mute those and focus on work - slack comes the only IM to communicate with my partners.
