Microsoft’s aggressive AI push in Windows 11 through 2025 brought upon themselves the title Microslop. Unfortunately for the company, it’s everywhere on social media, and there isn’t a way to stop the spread, unless, of course, it’s their own Discord server.

Why does Microsoft use Discord??
mesamunefire@piefed.social · 82 pts · 184d
Right! That makes it funnier in my opinion. Cause they have teams.

I guess their own slop isn't good enough as a communication platform

They use Discord for community stuff, IE non employee interactions. People can join those communities to learn, they have several
Teams is used for internal employee chat.

For the same reason they have a twitter account for sharing updates about outages. Because their own systems don't @#^ing work

Did you mean Microslop and… actually, Discord doesn‘t even need a clever nickname.

Looks like it’s the official server for Copilot, presumably for the community (e.g. support, etc) not internal communication, for what that’s worth

I didn't really like the name microslop, but after their reactions, now I love and use it
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 18 pts · 184d
This is like when someone gives the new guy a nickname abd they freak out about it.
You've only cemented the name you fools.
Nelots@piefed.zip · 80 pts · 184d
So Microslop is censoring its own name? Strange choice, but okay.

Someone see if "Micros|op" (with the pipe character) or "MicrosIop" (with a capital letter i) is also blocked.

Is this going to turn into l33tsp34k? µ-$£0|° or one of the many variations

In Russian "мокросовт" (mokrosovt), as in "wetly poke".

I wonder how much longer MS is going to walk this path?
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 184d
Have you been seeing a lot of megacorporations get their act together and start behaving reasonably lately?
Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 184d
Obviously not, but their stock took a big dump and their AI spend is not sustainable yet they just keep going.
My orgs Win 11 GM is AI free so non-AI Windows is still maintained so a switch could be flipped today.
They could probably charge more for AI free Windows and Office
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 184d
Oh man, imagine poisoning your product and then charging more for the poison free version. You've Really reached god status when you can pull off a move like that.

Buy why would Microslop consciously damage its own, hard-earned branding and reputation?
