The flair display and animations can be really annoying to look at or difficult to read. I would prefer hide them, and display all usernames as normal text.
While I would prefer to disable all flair display completely due to readability concerns, others might wish only to disable the animations, either because they find the animations distracting, or because they cause issues for people with motion sensitivity. In the latter case, people might configure their browser to express prefers-reduced-motion, and ListenBrainz should respect this via either CSS media queries if the animations are performed using CSS or programmatic media query monitoring if the animations are performed using JS.
When only flair animations are disabled, an alternate display style might be desirable for flair that would otherwise look like normal text. (E.g. "wave" could show a static frame from partway through the wave animation)
Ensure that these changes also apply to and/or hide the "Why are some names animated?" and similar help text, too.
