It was my replacement of Skype, which was leaning hard into its enshittification around that time.

But it can always get worse. When they run out of money, some of the stuff that used to be free will begin to cost you something.

Not when discord launched. Discord had far better audio quality, multiple text and voice channels, and some moderation tools. Skype was basically a group chat with a group call function
