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?

@davidgerard I have the microslop extension installed, so it appears microslop has blocked microslop

There are still people on Discord?

@davidgerard Thankfully, the Wikipedia redirect is still intact.

@davidgerard

I went to the Microsoft website to see if I could send them a message with the word #MicroSlop in it a few times.

It turns out you need a MS account just to contact them.

I don't know what you are supposed to do if you have issues with your account.
