Show full username history

[heikadog]

Ozone should show full username history where possible, since users changing their username could be an attack vector for harassers to evade responsibility. It would help operators more easily identify these users, as well. We're able to see this via Clearsky, but it'd be easier to see in Ozone directly.

For handles, you should be able to see this in the account profile view, which shows "DID history", at least for did:plc accounts, including handle changes.

For display name and description changes, we are working on a system to snapshot and track certain records, such as profile records. This will require some work on the Ozone backend, and depending on how it is configured/used could be a big bump in database size and load. It will probably also require running some external Go code to listen to the full network firehose and identify relevant updates. I'm not sure yet how much this will be something that we try to make easy out-of-the-box (not all mod instances probably need this complexity), or something that we just make available but don't make easy out-of-the-box.

didn't clock that DID history thing, neat. but i guess i should clarify—it'd be nice if handle changes were in the action panel ! it'd be easier to go through and check things out that way (but display name and description changes would be a nice addition to track too)

I think that the need for this is going to become more urgent. We're seeing an increase in reports of labeled edge cases, with accounts testing the limits of what they can say before they meet our criteria to be labeled. I expect bad faith deletions or edits to profiles and displaynames in an attempt to attack the credibility of the labeler, but am dealing with too high a volume to screenshot every piece of evidence used in a decision.
