Microsoft bans the word "Microslop" on the official Copilot discord, then locks the server

@davidgerard Wouldn't go work for Microslop if they paid me

[ndevenish@mas.to]

@resuna @davidgerard “retrieve email addresses “ is the best “genuinely useful capability” they could come up with, lol.

[malvarma@tiny.tilde.website]

@davidgerard why the hell do they even have a discord? A tacit admission that Teams is a failure.

And while we're add it, bring back msn messenger!

[blindy@convo.casa]

@davidgerard Seriously, over micro slop? What a bunch of manchild's.

[impudentstrumpet@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard And so many people would never have cause to mention or even think about microslop if they didn't keep forcing copilot into our processes!

[itgrrl@infosec.exchange]

@davidgerard I guess the MS discord mods have never heard of the Scunthorpe problem or the Streisand effect… 🤪

[idahobucks@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard shhh, don't tell anybody else

Clumsy? Ham-fisted? #Microslop!

"Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there. Shortly after Windows Latest posted about Copilot Discord server blocking Microslop on X, users began experimenting in the server with variations such as “Microsl0p” using a zero instead of the letter “o.”"

Er, #Microsl0p

When you're paying billions of dollars to force user acceptance, banning words is the first thing Coercive Capitalism will impose.

Oil oligarchs & fossil fuel fascists need sufficient user adoption in time to mess with elections.

@davidgerard Branding nightmare, that is. There is no winning move left for Microslop.

[csolisr@hub.azkware.net]

@davidgerard Let me guess, they moved to a MS Teams group?

[difegue@kolektiva.social]
