Description

Hello -- thanks for all the recent feature updates, I teach keybase in college classroom and community settings and folks are using it to replace encrypted email (much more readily scalable than PGP email).

For this to be feasible, a bit more message management would really help. Could keybase implement pinned messages (which appear at the top of a chat for the whole team, in a hideable pane, similar to the separation of teams/big teams)? Also/alternatively allow the client to "star" messages (similar to starred email messages in Thunderbird; allowing a user to filter for important messages, e.g. for those that represent outstanding tasks).

Thank you! (this is a more detailed suggestion first made w/ #3138)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named; start by reviewing the related suggestion in #3138 and the existing chat product context. Clarify whether team-wide pinned messages, personal starred messages, or both are in scope, then define the client and service behavior that would constitute completion.
