Can I turn off Replies on Posts in the General section of Teams? #M365AMA

In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:

“Is there any way to turn off the ability for students to use the Reply function on Posts in the General section of a Team? I’ve looked at all the settings, and tried any I thought would do it, but they still seem to be able to do it and use it as a chat room!”
