🟣 What is a Nickname?
A Nickname is your public display name — it shows on your profile, posts, and comments.
It gives you a personalized identity, different from your SA Handle (used for login and mentions).
Example:
SA Handle = MySAhandle888
Nickname = MyNickname 🍑
→ Others will see "MyNickname 🍑" on the frontend, but still mention you as @MySAhandle888.
To understand the difference, check:
👉 What is SA Handle and Nickname? #864
🔒 Can I Change My Nickname?
Yes — but nickname changes are restricted to ensure identity clarity and prevent misuse.
