Wait did Microsoft do something official regarding the nickname?

More recently they banned the word "microslop" from their discord server.

Makes me want to speed run a ban by microsoft

Also they constantly tested various variants to get around the block list (Micr0slop, M!croslop,โ€ฆ) just because.

I was banned before they killed the server.
