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?

Hey now, what's wrong with 'slop?' A farmer loves slop. It's dirt cheap, and the pigs don't seem to mind...

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.

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.

Don’t forget Kleinweich

Why is Microsoft using Discord and not Teams?

Why would anyone use Teams?

Because it comes 'free' with an Office365 subscription. Embrace (It's usually 'management'. The same management that won't pay for developer tools (including Slack) because 'why do you need that when you can do 95% of your work in VSCode?' It's also usually the same sort of management that can do 95% of their documents in... VSCode and markdown. Or LibreOffice.

There are regions in Germany (Hessen) where "Azure" is pronounced the exact same way as "Ärger" (trouble). Makes you think...

Wow, that's incredible. Even though I'm from Hessen, I never thought of making that connection!

What community is there to house around Microsoft Copilot? Seriously, why does Microsoft Copilot need a Discord Server? What do I talk about when I join the Microsoft Copilot server? What are we doing here?

It’s just another checkbox in someone’s performance review, no need to think too hard about it.

In Brazil people used to say "Ruindows", which is a play with the portuguese word for bad.

Ok, Vibrierkot is something for the German shitpost communities with all my Zuhausis im Zwischennetz.

I think the most important question here is this: Are users who post the string "microslop" generally desirable participants that will contribute in a productive manner? I suspect not.

It depends what the purpose of the Discord channel is. Is it for open and frank discussion, or for MS drones to discuss Copilot development. It's a cliche, but banning certain words smacks of 1984-style censorship.
