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.

> create your own channel with your colleagues instead

Dont even think about it ... it will be private till it isnt then it will be the reason you are fired. Its corpo world - shut your mouth and dont put anything on a permanent record you dont have to.

Like, why have a public discussion if we can have a private one? Public discussions are important, especially as AI is largely a political project
blell•1h ago
Wow, so someone opened a discord server for a community and banned an insulting word for the community? This must be a first.
Gualdrapo•52m ago
Is "Microslop" really insulting, though?
5o1ecist•50m ago
Truth hurts the immature, which is also why censorship is rampant.
blell•24m ago
I would say that “microslop” is akin to the old term “micro$oft”, which was a good sign of immaturity of whoever used it.
windowliker•50m ago
It's insulting to good, honest slop.
Manfred•50m ago
Why wouldn’t it be? It’s a mean derivation of their company name.
4gotunameagain•44m ago
It would be mean if they weren't actually vibecoding copilot & md into notepad, introducing an RCE vulnerability.

In notepad.

Why get yourself twisted like this?

They can do a bad thing, and then you can make fun of it with an insult.

Own it, the insult is warranted, why hide and pretend it's not an insult.

If Microsoft is consistently shipping slop, then they deserve insults over it; not every "bad" thing is always unwarranted. Locking someone in a box is "bad", prison is a necessary thing that benefits society. Insults are "bad" and sometimes warranted.

seanclayton•21m ago
It's as insulting as M$ is
cinntaile•17m ago
How is M$ insulting? It just looks like a leetspeak version of MS.
fireflash38•19m ago
Maybe they should stop insulting their users with the slop they put out and charge for then.
angstrom•48m ago
Less insulting than Macroslop
TOMDM•16m ago
You can argue that banning insults is a bad look, bad move, that the insult is warranted or whatever, but are you really going to die on the hill that calling the company Microslop isn't insulting?

> someone

It's Microsoft's official Copilot Discord. Microsoft banned the word

Microslop doing Microslop things

Probably the AI blocked it

> Probably the AI blocked it

Maybe this is the real reason why companies want to use AI so badly.

They save money on salary but also they get to point at something they won't tattle against the executives during a plea bargain?

wormpilled•49m ago
IDK what's funnier/more pathetic, them doing this or an entire article getting written about it.

MicroslopSlop

rapnie•43m ago
If AI gets better and slop rare, it would be fun to officially name the remaining occurrences "Microslop".
SanjayMehta•36m ago
so this exists:

Well played
ralferoo•32m ago
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.
st_goliath•21m ago
If you're German-speaking: "Klopilot" and "Vibrierkot" are some modern day personal favorites.

On a similar, nostalgic note, I recall boot screens for "Sinnlos 98" floating around, back when modifying the bootup logo was a thing.

Ok, Microslop
ppap3•23m ago
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.
hwers•16m ago
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
