    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.
