Overview
- Windows Latest reported that the official Copilot Discord used a server-side keyword filter to block messages containing the term “Microslop.”
- Users quickly bypassed the filter with variants such as “Microsl0p,” prompting escalation inside the server.
- Moderators restricted access by hiding message history and disabling posting for many users, with some accounts blocked from messaging after using the term.
- PC Gamer later visited the server and said free posting appeared to be restored following the lockdown.
- The clash fueled broader user backlash and memes targeting Microsoft’s Copilot and AI strategy, highlighting tensions around moderation in official product channels.
