For users on smaller screens (or who just have different display preferences), the chat could add some options for how messages are formatted in the room.

Example: the default display is Slack/Discord style with cards for each message having a row for the profile picture/nickname/username and some necessary padding and spacing to accommodate emoji reactions and things.

A compact display option could draw the chat history more like a classic IRC style: single lines of text per message laid out like:

11:11 pm [username] Hello room!
11:12 pm [soandso] Yo

The options for display density presented to the user could be:

Card style (default - what we have now)
Compact (IRC style) - minimal info, usernames only
Compact (with display names) - display names and usernames both shown?

In the compact style there would need to be room reserved for the important chat buttons for each message:

Sending a DM
Takeback/delete the message
Mute/unmute the user
Flag the message
Emoji reaction

Some of the lesser used ones could be tucked into a pop-up menu that the user clicks on. e.g.: sending a DM, muting, and deleting the message could go into the menu. Then the IRC style display might look like:

🟰 🚩 😊 11:11 pm [username] Hello world!

Or the flag/emoji buttons could go on the right side of the message, like:


🟰 11:11 pm [username] Hello world!	🚩 😊
🟰 11:12 pm [soandso] This could be an example how the compact chat display looks.	🚩 😊
