soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
The Xbox community clubs have been officially shut down. Leave it to #Microslop to remove features while simultaneously increasing prices across the board.
Hopefully some members of the Vintage Retro Games club on #Xbox find their way here to Retro Gaiden, or at least somewhere on the Fediverse.
@nixCraft the first sure sign that they are losing is censorship of humor.
Whenever someone finds themselves censoring humor, they lost, but they probably don't know it, yet.
All this talk of #microslop reminds me of a friend who started a bespoke software business back in the 90s. In those days, business registrations were done by filling in paper forms so you had to choose five names for your business. What you actually got would be the first one that wasn't already taken.
He could only come up with four good ones, so for number 5 he just put the opposite of Microsoft.
And that is how my brother got his first job at MegaHard Computer Software.
@miiko @Tutanota #microslop got sneakier. Last time they did this few years ago they cave in after the public backslash.

This is yet another lame move by Microslop.
They half-assed the Xbox communities feature and never improved it. And now they’re pulling the rug out from those who actually did use it, all while charging more money than ever for their hardware & services.
This is truly glorious #AISlop from #Microslop in their "Introduction to Github" course.
I don't know why Tim is working in the opposite direction, but I can see that he never once "morges" his code back into develop, let alone doing it "continvoucly"
@miiko @Tutanota Europe is talking about #DigitalSovreignty and #microslop shows why we need to push it further. They don’t have to completely cut the cables to mess with european economy, just make it harder for us europeans to access US services.

Oh dear me are people not "adopting" lying autocomplete widely enough to keep the line going up? Oh noes. Nobody could have foreseen this! 🤯
I cannot wait for the official announcement of a new #Microslop programme, Adopt-an-AI. 🤣
What an absolute tool. "The bubble might burst if you all don't help pump it!" 🤡
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella really wants you to stop calling AI "slop" in 2026 https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-really-wants-you-to-stop-calling-ai-slop-in-2026 #AI #AntiAI #MicroSlop
