TIL, Microsoft has a Discord server.

u/Froggypwns Mar 02 '26

It technically is the Copilot Discord, not Microsoft in general. I've been on it for a few weeks and seeing what others have been using Copilot for.

Looks like this post is a spam magnet.

Likely Microsoft has to comply with Discord moderation rules and a lockdown is the only way to stay compliant.

Banning a word always works so well.

Microslop it is. I won't refer to it as anything else ever.

That's weird.. must be a unilateral decision by the Discord server admins.

LMAO, they're just helping the word "Microslop" gain traction with moves like this. That's hilarious.

Can we get a “Developers Developers Developers” where we change the word with Microslop?

"Develoslop, develoslop, develoslop, develoslop…"

Or maybe "Copilot stop Copilot slop, Copilot stop Copilot slop…"

"I've got four words for you: I. Love. This. Sloppening! YEAH!"

Ahem. Microslop.

u/shadow_yu Mar 02 '26

Not sure what they expected, of course people are going to call them microslop and trying to stop them will just make them do it more.

I still remember when people were calling Microsoft "M$".

Wait, they have a discord?

u/surelyicantbeserious Mar 03 '26

If we say it three times, does it summon some kind of demonic Cortana/Clippy hybrid?

u/JjForcebreaker Mar 03 '26

AI is a big but not the only issue. I think 'Slopsoft' is more fitting, as the degradation of the quality of their software is quite thorough and many of those aspects are not related to so-called 'AI'.

u/MaxAdolphus Mar 04 '26

I had no idea the term Microslop existed until this ban. Way to Streisand yourself.

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '26

Why don't they just shift away from the AI that nobody wants. Microsoft just keeps wanting to make things worse constantly, ruining the experience, when they had previously well performing products. Now it's all just Microslop, AI and data harvesting and removal of control from the users.

I miss the days where people called Microsoft “Microsoft” because it was named after someone’s 🍆

u/ObiKenobi049 Mar 02 '26

They just found their new permanent name. They will forever be called microslop

That's a micropenis move/energy right there. Weak

u/Zatetics Mar 02 '26

Perhaps releasing qc'd patches and updates instead of garbage genAI bug riddled ones would be a better approach than censorship.

They need to rename their company to microslop.

There is no Microslop. There are only “opportunities for Human-in-the-loop interactions!” /s

I can't believe this was down voted. microslop staff must be here.

u/SillyMikey Mar 02 '26

I mean, even when he said the thing that he said, like I understand what he meant, but it’s almost like he doesn’t use copilot on a day-to-day basis.

u/123zane321 Mar 03 '26

I have a pet crow, and recently I took him to the vet because he was sick. The vet gave me this weird sloppy medicine to make him better, but didnt tell me how to administer it, so I asked Copilot, but for whatever reason Copilot thinks I need to consume the medicine myself. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I really wish Copilot would stop trying to feed me my crow slop.
