Microsoft bans the word "Microslop" on its Discord, then locks the server

Micro$lop then.

Was hitting too close to home it seems... But to be fair, corporate discords have to be like that. Why not create your own channel with your colleagues instead? This discussion would be "private" and corporate can just ignore it.

Wow, so someone opened a discord server for a community and banned an insulting word for the community? This must be a first.

Microslop doing Microslop things

IDK what's funnier/more pathetic, them doing this or an entire article getting written about it. MicroslopSlop

Hehe, this reminds me of 30 years ago when people used to stylise it as Micro$oft or creatively misspell it as Microshaft, etc. Even on the Amiga, there was the filesystem that could read PC format disks that was called MessyDos. It just seems like the next generation has discovered what an easy name it is to make puns from.

Ok, Microslop

I don't take this lightly. These are the folks who are doing what they can to be part of the government. They simply cannot take criticism and this seems to be a pattern moving forward.

The default of making a public discord for your project/company always seemed like a bad idea anyway. It’ll always devolve into some drama or distracting overhead to moderate it

Discord/Reddit moderators living up to their obnoxious stereotype as usual.

Don’t they have better things to do? Maybe vibecode a taskbar that moves when you try to move away the mouse over it or perhaps a windows 12 installation procedure that requires a fecal sample and iris scan?

What community is there to house around Microsoft Copilot? Seriously, why does Microsoft Copilot need a Discord Server? What do I talk about when I join the Microsoft Copilot server? What are we doing here?

Microstreisand?

I propose we refer to them as Microslop from now on.

Tells you a lot about where their focus is at as a company.

Why is Microsoft using Discord and not Teams?
