Seriously, disliking our move to Teams, it's doing far too much for one product and it can't even get the basics right around things like nicknames.
Feedback active on this topic since 2017? - I don't think this is going to get priority.

Nicknames were one of the things that make Slack way better and help greatly with team building.

nicknames is required, full names is just stupid and confusing - this makes teams unusable compared to Slack
