Description

#### Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.
When I look in low-traffic channels, all I see is a barrage of name changes. I would like to see the last messages that were sent in the channel instead

#### Describe the solution you'd like.
I would like all the name changes to collapse into a single line rather than collapsing into one line per day.

#### Describe alternatives you've considered.
I assume that the only alternative is to scroll up every time I open the channel.

#### Additional context
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

Research direction

No implementation file or test is named. Start by locating the client code that groups and collapses name-change messages, then inspect how day boundaries are applied. Done means consecutive name changes collapse into one line across day boundaries while ordinary messages remain visible and existing tests pass.
