You can just not specify a topic and write your messages in "general chat", nothing stops you from doing this.

we want topics allowed in certain channels only (ie #announcements) so that's probably what we'll use this feature for which certainly was not there when we tested maybe a year ago or so

		The nice general chat UI and per-channel permissions for it were new in Zulip 11.0 last year: https://blog.zulip.com/2025/08/13/zulip-11-0-released/. So probably you tested not long before this got built.

		True, though even before this we just made a chatting topic with the name "general", that worked just fine while still letting people make other threads for long discussions.
