That's a bit weird. They didn't get this worked up about being called "Micro$oft" or something. This is probably hitting the nerve in a completely different way!
They're proud capitalists, so it never bothered them. They aren't proud of their slopware though
Microsoft has over 200k employees, and the people (person?) managing the discord are probably at the bottom of the totem pole. I doubt they put more than 5 seconds of thought into this.
