Windows Latest reports that the auto-moderation blocking 'Microslop' on Microsoft's Copilot Discord, found in March 2026, has been lifted. Over the same six months Microsoft cut Copilot entry points: it removed the Snipping Tool button, stopped auto-installing the M365 Copilot app, and made the Copilot key remappable. The anti-AI-bloat backlash changed Windows product decisions, which is more than a moderation filter could do.
