Microsoft gets tired of “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash
Microsoft’s aggressive AI push in Windows 11 through 2025 brought upon themselves the title Microslop. Unfortunately for the company, it’s everywhere on social media, and there isn’t a way to stop the spread, unless, of course, it’s their own Discord server.

Why does Microsoft use Discord??
Right! That makes it funnier in my opinion. Cause they have teams.
You gotta keep competition in view
I guess their own slop isn't good enough as a communication platform
It's where people are, sadly.
They use Discord for community stuff, IE non employee interactions. People can join those communities to learn, they have several
Teams is used for internal employee chat.
For the same reason they have a twitter account for sharing updates about outages. Because their own systems don't @#^ing work
*Microslop.
Did you mean Microslop and… actually, Discord doesn‘t even need a clever nickname.
Looks like it’s the official server for Copilot, presumably for the community (e.g. support, etc) not internal communication, for what that’s worth
I didn't really like the name microslop, but after their reactions, now I love and use it
This is like when someone gives the new guy a nickname abd they freak out about it.
You've only cemented the name you fools.
So Microslop is censoring its own name? Strange choice, but okay.

Oof! Sorry, didn't know.
It’s harsh but true.
How about tiny trash? Or runty rubbish? Or junior junk?
In Russian "мокросовт" (mokrosovt), as in "wetly poke".
I wonder how much longer MS is going to walk this path?
Have you been seeing a lot of megacorporations get their act together and start behaving reasonably lately?
Obviously not, but their stock took a big dump and their AI spend is not sustainable yet they just keep going.
My orgs Win 11 GM is AI free so non-AI Windows is still maintained so a switch could be flipped today.
They could probably charge more for AI free Windows and Office
Oh man, imagine poisoning your product and then charging more for the poison free version. You've Really reached god status when you can pull off a move like that.
Buy why would Microslop consciously damage its own, hard-earned branding and reputation?
