Why wouldn’t it be? It’s a mean derivation of their company name.
It's as insulting as M$ is
How is M$ insulting? It just looks like a leetspeak version of MS.

#32The 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
Re: “Microslop” filtered in the official Microsoft Copilot Discord server
#33Wow, 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?
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?

#34Hehe, 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.
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.
"Der Ätsch-Browser".

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.

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

#40Don’t they have better things to do? Maybe vibecode a taskbar that moves when you try to move away the mouse over it or perhaps a windows 12 installation procedure that requires a fecal sample and iris scan?
