Should Corny Chat support sticky profile pictures along with pet names?
What this means: Pet names are names that you assign someone else (similar to pronouns, but specific to the individual vs a kind). If you've assigned a pet name, then regardless of whether that person sets a new name you would still see their posts under the name assigned. Foe sticky profile pictures, the intent would keep the same image url whenever you see that person in the app, even if they updated their profile pic later. You would still be able to clear these settings to get new updates. These features are some of the best we have to avoid confusion and reduce the potential for impersonation as other people dont necessarily know how you see or refer to others.
AFAIK, only two nostr apps support pet names (1) Gossip, by way of kind 3 follow list which means it doesnt work for other lists or people not being followed and (2) Corny Chat, which assigns the pet name in relationship status per individual pubkey.
