What is the point of a display name, exactly?

in #help • 8 years ago

What is the point of a display name, exactly, if it doesn't replace (okay, cover up, not actually replace) your "@" name, and it only appears on your profile, and nowhere else? Why have this second possible name, if people have to click on your profile to see it, and it isn't actually used for anything?

Am I missing something? Or is this a completely pointless feature?

    Did you discover the answer to this? I am setting up my account and wondering the same thing.
