That's a bit weird. They didn't get this worked up about being called "Micro$oft" or something. This is probably hitting the nerve in a completely different way!
They're proud capitalists, so it never bothered them. They aren't proud of their slopware though
Microsoft has over 200k employees, and the people (person?) managing the discord are probably at the bottom of the totem pole. I doubt they put more than 5 seconds of thought into this.
I loved the:
Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there.
There are many things wrong about the current Internet, but the pettiness against any affront (real or perceived) won't ever die, and I think that's good.
Microslop should ask their own NoPilot about the Streisand Effect.
Am I the only one questioning why Microslop has a Discord server? Don't they have a chat product?
"Hello I'm [generic person 2387362] and I'm the community manager for [generic corporation/tool/product 1892873]! I just started a few weeks ago and I'm so excited to announce that in the interest of [generic engagement and advertising], we'd started a discord server! We [positive transitive verb] our community, and want to bring them together so they can share some of the [productivity success stories] they've had or ask the community for support!

Microsoft is tired of Microslop? Weird, that.
NoPilot
I like it, I like it.
Thank you for pointing out this clearly superior word, you expanded my vocabulary!
Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them that, if they didn't stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz, they'd be fired.
Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead.
*read: probably
I get the Mousewitz part but what’s the reference to Dachau about? Duchau read like Duckau as in Donald Duck?
Idk Microsoft, maybe fix your AI so it doesn't recommend Microsoft products that are either depreciated or don't exist.
It's pretty embarrassing for you.
*deprecated
If it was the only bad thing about Microsoft, it would be pretty great though.

Why would Microslop do this? Aren’t they proud of the slop they are filling everything with? Or is this just a simple insecurity thing? Want us to call you Macroslop instead?
Oh Microslop... throwing tantrums like a 5 year old brat
Things must be rough for the AI fandom when a Discord made for CoPilot is unsustainably critical of CoPilot
Who else would even join except bots?
Lol, lmao even
Good old roflcopter.
Wait, this a picture? Seriously? Here's some ascii art ones: https://gist.github.com/MatthewRalston/3f529c819e4976c7e6572f5682c8959f
Ah microslop kicking themselves for not buying discord
They would have run it into the ground with mismanagement and a new chat application would become the popular choice within a year, while Microslop's new acquisition fades into obscurity, eventually to be depreciated and shut down my Microslop themselves.
As has happened multiple times already in history.
Only before microslop would have found yet more ways like charging for additional characters past a 250 word limit and connecting to a chat for more than an hour :'). I seriously miss groups/social. When microslop/xbox actually had that false sense of caring for their communities
I wanna join the server just to look at the absolute loser shit that must be going down in the "Aha AI Moments" channel
Microsoft locked all the channels in that discord within the last few hours.
Before that, every channel was Microslop nonstop. Apparently even giving them feedback (in the feedback channel) about the product is no longer allowed. Microsoft cannot handle the fact they dish out slop.
Microslop needs to ask Copilot about the Streisand Effect. As someone not chronically on social media, I hadn't heard about this term yet. Now, it's one of my favorites.
Funny enough, I've been experimenting with Copilot at work and it does have some genuine uses for looking up information quickly. Especially when trying to troubleshoot Microslop products. Between the disaster called "Windows 11", the cluster-fuck which is New Outlook and the complete shitshow which falls under the umbrella of "Defender", it's obvious that they have stopped investing in QA and testing. At least Copilot can help me find the right document to quickly tell me that I can't do something I used to be able to do in the old version of Outlook. Or, that Defender is incapable of doing things which even Symantec Antivirus had gotten right in the early 2000's.
I still use windows 10.
I've said this before that if they made it optional and gave us the choice of using it as part of the operating system, then people might use it and might find reasons to like it. But shoving it down our throats is offensive and rapey. I'm not interested in being raped by microslop.
In fact, I am violently opposed to it. If one of the people that are shoving nopilot down our throats was in front of me, I would attack that person, at least verbally, but also possibly physically depending on their response.
Please edit your post to add Nopilot instead of copilot, its the superior word
20 years ago (yes, I'm old) we called it Microshaft Winblows. Perhaps it's time to resurrect that.
I'm Germany, we called it Windoof
Love how every social media site is becoming more and more like /r/Conservative.
They essentially ARE. You can also throw in all major broadcasting networks in that bucket as well. Everything is pro Israel and they are all trying to justify their genocide to their dumb fuck base.
