"Microsoft's Copilot Discord server has since been locked, and will display the message "Invites are currently paused for this server" when attempting to join it. While there appears to be no specific reason for the invasion, the initial wave was likely inspired by this popular February 28 post on from VTuber Qyu, criticizing a "FUCKING DUMABSS BRAINDEAD SUIT at Microslop" for the design of the Windows Taskbar."
"The word Microslop was banned on the Copilot Discord sometime around March 1st. Of course, Windows' Latest's initial post on X detailing this led to a newly bolstered stream of variations on the phrase. In a bid to get around Discord's filtering system, users found that they could successfully circumvent it by posting variations such as "microsl0p.""
"Windows users aren't thrilled about Copilot's integration with several of Microsoft's products. This issue has been exacerbated by how annoying it is to completely eradicate Copilot from Windows systems, as doing so (the standard way) requires you to individually disable Copilot's functionality in the settings of multiple different apps."
Microsoft's official Copilot Discord server was locked down and its message history wiped after users inundated it with variations of the term "Microslop." The word was added to Copilot's list of inappropriate phrases around March 1st, which prompted widespread posting of the term and its variations like "microsl0p" to circumvent Discord's filtering system. Users debated alternative phrases such as "Sloppysoft" to bypass moderation. The initial wave of messages was likely inspired by a VTuber's February 28 post criticizing Microsoft's design decisions. Underlying frustration stems from widespread user dissatisfaction with Copilot's integration across Microsoft products and the difficulty of removing it from Windows systems.
