Followup fc98ce9a7232009a33b74c1949dd1ffa1f73bddd When we added the "Leave ch…annel" option to the chat sidebar context menu, for DM and group DM channels we mistakenly used the leaveChannel API call instead of unfollowChannel. unfollowChannel is non-destructive and simply removes the channel from the user's sidebar, while leaveChannel is destructive and removes the user from the channel, which makes it impossible to find group channels again. c.f. https://meta.discourse.org/t/access-common-chat-channel-actions-from-the-sidebar-context-menu/392667
