User should be able to change usernames #1716

@holmesworcester where do you expect to see this message "@oldusername has changed their name to @newusername" ? Some possibilities:
I wasn't able to find any examples of this. If you have any, it would be helpful What are your thoughts? |
What if they change it multiple times, should we show a history or just the most recent one? |
So far we're putting stuff like that in the general channel, which is where we put the 'joined' message. |
Right now users can't change their username, but now that we have an "unregistered" status there's no reason to impose this limit: users can switch names to something unregistered and request it from the registrar.
Then the "username taken" flow (#1697) when a user attempts to register an existing username gets simpler: we just have to show an alert and let the user continue to the flow for choosing a new username.
We should put the ability to change usernames in the user's profile.
NOTE: When someone's username changes, we should ALWAYS show a message:
"@oldusername has changed their name to @newusername"
