I hate this timeline, but I do enjoy the small moments of absurdity when I can.
Go to microsoft dot com. Click their chat help bot. Ask “What is microslop?” get told, sorry, I cannot help you with that and turns itself off.
I just did that…and it said…‘‘it would seem you are referring to Microsoft’’ So all of your hard work was not in vain. It is now self aware
And it’s MICROSCUM, not microslop!
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 like it, I like it.
Thank you for pointing out this clearly superior word, you expanded my vocabulary!
Am I the only one questioning why Microslop has a Discord server? Don’t they have a chat product?
Don’t they have a chat product?
Many.
And Discord is among them.Seems like I missremembered something.
They do, but have you ever seen a party that everyone knows about but no one shows up to? That’s Microsoft’s non-paid chat service.

You son of a bitch I’m in!! Where do I sign up?
It’s normal to just meet people where they are at on all the various platforms. As long as you can pipe everything back to customer data platform increasing scale through multiple social platforms has almost no downside and pretty minimal cost.
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.
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?
It might be that there is pun at all about them calling it Dachau and that was the point. Oh we can’t use this cheeky nickname anymore? Fine, we’ll just refer to it as Dachau. Ban that.
Remember how Americans would pronounce the ch. They already basically say Dackau, so Duckau isn’t a far stretch.
Dachau was one if the first concentration camps in Germany.
I am very aware, I was asking about the pronunciation/reference.
Yes, it’s as you stated, a reference to donald duck. A very loose reference.
Also, I’ve tried to find any reliable sources for this story at previous occasions, and it seems like it’s fully made up. The working conditions have reportedly been abyssmal which is likely the origin of the story, but that specific story is not real.
Microslop should ask their own NoPilot about the Streisand Effect.
Idk Microsoft, maybe fix your AI so it doesn’t recommend Microsoft products that are either
depreciateddeprecated or don’t exist.It’s pretty embarrassing for you.
*deprecated
Thank you for the correction!
If it was the only bad thing about Microsoft, it would be pretty great though.
Microsoft is tired of Microslop? Weird, that.
“oh you want us to stop saying Microslop? how about we remind you about this in 3 days instead :)”
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
Microslop
And if they keep it up, Macroslop
Lol, lmao even
