Copilot Discord Locks After Meme Moderation

In March 2026 Windows Latest reported that Microsoft’s official Copilot Discord server blocked messages containing the viral nickname "Microslop," triggering an automated moderation notice and hiding messages. Users then circumvented the keyword filter with variations, prompting moderators to lock channels and restrict posting. The incident highlights community backlash against Microsoft’s aggressive AI branding and raises moderation trade-offs for product-run forums.
