Microsoft's official Copilot Discord server was locked down after users flooded it with the term 'Microslop,' a nickname reflecting frustration over Microsoft's aggressive AI integration into Windows, Office, and GitHub.

Microsoft officially blamed spammers for the lockdown, framing it as protection against harmful content rather than acknowledging user discontent with its AI strategy.
