Just my two cents but I feel like this would be duplicating guild profiles as it doesn't take long to edit the name profile picture. Also as long as the guild allows it you can rename yourself for free which I think addresses this as it gives you an unpaid solution to distingiush between alters so work on a specific feature would just be duplicating existing work that would likely be more used to bypass plutonium limits than the perceived accessibility improvements it would bring. If a user wants more customization for their alter profile they can do it like they would with plutonium through guild profiles in addition to renaming themselves but functionally for accessibility I don't think there's anything lacking with renaming as it gives a clear distinctor.

Unfortunately, it's slower, and cumbersome, and usually an extra click or two from the main display as suggested by some of the proposals here. If server profiles were a viable alternative, tools like Pluralkit/Octocon, and their alternatives on Fluxer, wouldn't exist, and people would use those options because they're native. Additionally, server profiles change past messages too- this kind of problem is intended to bypass that. It's intended to link specific messages/actions with specific sub-profile metadata.
