Wow, so someone opened a discord server for a community and banned an insulting word for the community? This must be a first.

Is "Microslop" really insulting , though?

Less insulting than Macroslop

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.

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.

Why wouldn’t it be? It’s a mean derivation of their company name.

It would be mean if they weren't actually vibecoding copilot & md into notepad, introducing an RCE vulnerability.

In notepad.

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

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.
