Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a new room
2. Send a message A
3. Send a message B as thread response on A
4. Send a message C into the main timeline
5. Change your display name in the app settings
6. Notice how the display name on all three messages is still the old one
7. Navigate to another room and immediately return
8. Notice how the threaded message suddenly uses the new display name but the two unthreaded messages don't
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
All three messages should show the same display name – either the old (preferable) or new one
#### What happened instead?
The threaded message used the new display name while the other messages used the old one
