(Yes! A solution to a rejected suggestion i really wanted!)

Obviously support. Nicknames should follow the same filter as regular usernames. Maybe cap at 30 characters instead of 20? Idk, still support

As you know, the original nickname/display name suggestion is rejected:

8.1 Changing usernames or changing display names
If a user could change their username (or even set a certain “nickname” or “display name”), this could be very confusing for the Scratch community, especially for those following that user. In addition, this would make moderation of the website more difficult because it would be harder for the Scratch Team to keep an eye on what a user may be doing. The Scratch Team has allowed username changes only on very rare occasions, such as if the username contains personal information or causes gender dysphoria. Generally, the Scratch Team does not change usernames on request (including for reasons such as “I do not like my current username anymore”).

However, because of the way that usernames are stored on the server, changing the cases of letters in your username (for example, changing @Za-Chary to @ZA-CHARY) is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.

But I’ll make some changes.
Instead of showing only the nickname/display name, it’ll be like this in comments, made-by-username in projects I can’t inspect so I’ll be text-arting this lol

It’ll stay with only the username in studios, project credits, notifications, and followers/following.

It’ll follow the same filter as the username filter, and there’ll be a 7-days (or maybe 3-4, im still deciding) cooldown between each display change.

display names should be able to handle special text, like emojis or other symbols

and it'll have a 20 letters limit, like the username aight basically changable usernames /j
