--- title: What should I set as my display name on Slack? last_updated: 2026-05-17T19:55:06Z --- # What should I set as my display name on Slack? Our community is primarily about **in-person activity** at our workshop and our online platforms reflect that. You should set your Slack display name to the **same name you go by in person**. This will make it easier for people to match your name on Slack to the name they've heard in person, which increases your chances of getting useful replies.
