This is definitely something we'll want to address, but most of the team is very heads down this month, it will probably a bit before we iterator on the profile record schema. |

Bit of an aside: I would love this; particularly if it allows RelMeAuth a la Mastodon, it would make verifying users like e.g. journalists (👋 ) vastly easier.

I think this is likely a protocol (lexicon) change
-to add the ability to add location, gender designation birthday and a website to the bio in pre allocated spots.
this is something people are accustom to on social media, and gives profiles some consistency between users
adding a gender field/pronoun designation (sooner rather than later) i can also see minimizing potential conflicts or contention with some users
if this is not too complex of a change, i see it having a large scale benefit and possibly a quick turn around for 3rd party devs to also implement.
adding this field could also be a reason to fix long bios (bluesky-social/social-app#2220)
before i make this too complicated - id say one additional bonus that would make many people happy is having an additional "tip" field where users could link ko-fi, patreon, gofundme, venmo, cashapps, or other tipping services ppl use.
