Be able to have chat show your “nickname” instead of your real name, eg I could set it to jcoding2 and then it’d show up as that instead of Jensen S. on the chat screen.
This feature would not be hard to make. But I feel like it adds to anonymity.. This makes it harder to build community and hold each other accountable. Why should we have this instead of your name?
