Default town-square

Troubleshooting

Hello friends,

Is there any way that when I create users they are not active in the default town-square channel.

Greetings

Hi Juancho and welcome to the Mattermost forums!

I’m afraid this is not possible, since the town-square channel is a mandatory channel for all members in a team. You can make mute the channel though and make it read-only, so basically it’s useless then and you can create your own town-square like channel for people who want to opt-in for such a thing.

Hi! I deployed the latest 9.4.2 community version in docker.
But I don’t see any way to make Town Square read-only.
I would like to use this channel for announcements and news.
Is this feature deprecated?
