You can argue that banning insults is a bad look, bad move, that the insult is warranted or whatever, but are you really going to die on the hill that calling the company Microslop isn't insulting?

The branding people will hate it. Although IMHO the best thing they could do is co-opt it as a feedback term and acknowledge that AI can be hit or miss.

It is definitely an insult because it’s used pejoratively. If it is insulting I guess depends on if the target feels insulted. Seeing as they blocked the word, it seems they do.

Less insulting than Macroslop

Why wouldn’t it be? It’s a mean derivation of their company name.

If anything it is a diminutive for a company which really should have named itself Megaslop by now if not Gigaslop or even Teraslop. Poor little Microslop, are those people being nasty again?

It's insulting to good, honest slop.

Truth hurts the immature, which is also why censorship is rampant.

I think the most important question here is this: Are users who post the string "microslop" generally desirable participants that will contribute in a productive manner?

I suspect not.
