I created a new Mastodon account with a display name. Then established
that account in /toot/ using the “login” CLI command. I later erased
the display name in the web client. But in subsequent usage of the
/toot/ app, references to the original display name still persisted. I
don’t recall where, but likely when doing a “toot post” from the
CLI. It’s a bit surprising that /toot/ would keep a copy of it since
it’s unlikely needed for any operations. In principle it should be the
server that conveys that sort of profile information.
