The instance rules state;

3 . No impersonation of a person or a brand. Even parodies.

6 . Each username on here should be a person, not a brand or corporation - and that person must be you, no impersonation.

Now I'm not coming to the defense of a corporation because fuck corps but wouldn't this account violate those rules? Microsoft is a (shitty) brand and this is a parody of that.

I might be wrong but thats how I would interpret those two rules.

And again fuck microsoft, even if it does violate the instance rules it should be left alone just to piss of a shitty corp.

Edit: As TherapyGary pointed out, the instance they are on has no rule pertaining to parody accounts, My bad.

I believe the Microsoft account is hosted on Lea.pet, which doesn't have those rules

Some might argue it requires a terminal level of brain worms to understand what is being said with rule 8. But I for one find beauty in this exactly level and flavor of petty, and I come to the fediverse for it.

Also, what's a valid reason for harassment?

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Presumably using Ubuntu is one of them lol

Fair point, I didn't know those rules weren't on lea.pet. That's on me I should have checked, my bad.
