    Is there a way for "Canvas" to not be available for some channels? I saw this https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1729938494262899 and I feel like there's no good reason for such channels to have a canvas, especially one accessible to everyone. It feels more like just noise

    FWIW, https://slack-chats.kotlinlang.org/ seems stuck again -- I am not seeing any updates newer than October 23rd.

    Hello guys! I wanted to create a new channel around my new project Olpaka: a multiplatform frontend for the Ollama app. I can see that I don't have the rights to create a new channel. How do I make a new one?

    Hello! I started a small organization for Kotlin educational content. I'd like to make a by-invite channel for #kotlin-kinetics as a way to connect members to the rest of the Kotlin community and for them to discuss what they're learning. Would that be possible?

    This is spam and doesn’t seem to be Kotlin related. He could have shared the app directly instead of a form. @Alina Dolgikh [JB]

    The link in 
    #getting-started
    's summary is dead (https://kotl.in/coc). Not sure if you can update the kotl.in redirect, or if you want to just update the URL directly.

    This message is about a website that charges for courses and is not related to Kotlin. Also, the poster has posted spam in the past.

    I'm semi-actively looking for a new job, and wanted to leverage #C0BQ5GZ0S for this. However, I'm a backend engineer, and I'm not interested in Android offers - there're plenty of them. I'm wondering if we could have some robust way to tell them apart. I know #CPKD2EGSY exists, but for now I want to browse the job adverts rather than advertising myself. My first naive idea was to include some kind of tag in the message, but there's no way (I know) to enforce it. Another idea is to have separate channels: #C0BQ5GZ0S gets split into e.g. #hiring-android and #hiring-backend, perhaps also in the future #hiring-multiplatform or #hiring-desktop. I know that some company may look for engineers for more than one speciality, but then they can simply send multiple job adverts. Such division would help folks like me. What do you think?

    Previous posts of this guy have been removed before. He is someone showing no will to respect the rules. I would just ban people like him.

    Is it possible to set the language (eg Kotlin) for a code snippet ( https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3SGXARS6/p1741471858894129?thread_ts=1741471578.895299&cid=C3SGXARS6 ), and if so how?

    I fail to see how this is a "link to an interesting thing about Kotlin", i.e. relevant to the topic of #C0BJ0GTE2.

    Indeed. Unacceptable behavior. At this point we need @Alina Dolgikh [JB]‘s help.

    hi, I would like to confirm that a very old version of Kotlin is not affected by an old published CVE, is there anyone here with access to hidden youtrack issues that could spare a few minutes to look it up?

    From the recent posts in #C0B8MA7FA, I feel like someone is sending people here expecting a guided learning course of some kind... intriguing

    Is it worth adding github username/profile links into the slack member profiles? I'm not sure many people are using "Skype" either...

    Should we rename #C19FD9681 to #kotlin-gradle-plugin (see this thread)? #C19FD9681 has a big disclaimer to redirect general Gradle questions to the Gradle community slack. This leaves #C19FD9681 for Kotlin-specific questions. Feels like Kotlin DSL questions could also be asked in the Gradle community slack (there is a 
    #kotlin-dsl
    channel there). The rest of the questions are mostly KGP related. Or is there anything else that wouldn't match 
    #kotlin-gradle-plugin
    ?

    It’s annoying that Slack doesn’t have a real blocking feature. He was hidden, but still was able to text me. (I just unhide for the screenshot.)
