Skype imo is effective. I am not a big fan of WhatsApp, probably because i still miss the Yahoo messenger and the chat rooms

Plus skype is very secure/privacy and all messages cannot get deleted in one click or the complete chat history getting deleted.

That's true.
When I'm not a south asian scammer, I'm a low quality "expert".
As soon as I notice my quality getting too high, I go back to being a south asian scammer untill it gets low and then I switch again.

It's the same question I ask why people are still using Windows for their Desktop. Like, is this even still a thing even while much better alternatives like Linux are available? Using Windows for your daily business laptop/pc? It's like sending post cards with your data. But it's to each their own, I guess.
Skype doesnt have native Linux support and the propriety version available has insane privacy concerns, like recording the mic in the background and recording all keystroke inputs, regardless if not in chat window and so on. Telegram is probably doing similar stuff, but much less as it's code can be verified and is.

Telegram and Discord are the new big boss in town, I don't understand how people can still use Skype

Telegram is for adult's business chat, Discord is for kid's business chat.

it's a big world and everyone has their favorite flavor.
i prefer telegram, irc, and matrix.org protocol for personal group chats. whatsapp has been increasingly popular for international vendors.
skype's experience went downhill fast was when MS bought them. i use their web portal if needed.
im working with a vendors that use ms-teams, slack, discord....it's all over the place.
remember trillian chat client?

I stopped using skype when they up and deleted me off it for no reason, but meh I just have multiple ways to talk to people to get around cancel culture. If I get kicked one I see what is new in town that I can stomach (IE can make me money or serve as back up coms).
It is sort of like windows. I bet most of you never moved past 7 cuz all the new stuff is a spyware pretending to be an OS, hard to black hat when every place you go is tracking you, is why most (I think?) use linux now a days, to many private distros for them to track/corrupt.
