Announcement joining/leaving a team
You cannot disable these notifications by design. They are there for data governance and security.
If this is a feature you would like to see added, there have been a few submissions on UserVoice, but none have really gotten any traction.

As a workaround, simply don't make the General channel the main focus for conversations. In my org we limit the general channel for Team-wide updated and notifications.
adam11 This is especially annoying when you are trying to create a clean, company / Org wide Channel when the whole company is automatically added to it. If you want to just use the Channels for announcements and one-way communications, the clean look of the channel is always messed up when people are added or formally join the Team. Toggling this on and off for Org-wide challens would be a logical change they should make.
