I see that sometimes you do not have to click on

More Message Shortcuts...

Also I can see the old 'Report to Slack' method appears on the ⋮ menu before the newer method.

If we are directing people to use the newer method do we need to explicitly warn them off from using the old method?

This should be the proper app to raise the message with CNCF Slack admins.
Selecting "Report to Slack" opens a website to report it to Slack itself (Slack Technologies LLC) in case of unlawful content.
