In certain rooms, I want my display name to be my real name and city for example, while on other rooms I might want a username that hides that. I think it should be possible to override your global display name in favor of a room or community specific one.

Also in discord, a community admin ( or maybe in this case, a room admin ), can change a users' display names.

Matrix has per room displaynames, there is just no UI to set one: https://vault.webdevguru.co.uk/Matrix/per-room-nickname/

Ah nice, so this is just something riot needs to add as part of its client room settings.
