Really my location field should have four locations on it, and at the moment it’s probably not that comprehensible anyway. Would be useful for dope meetups / etc.

It was longer when they installed a new version a few releases ago, but the PTB shortened it very quickly. I can’t speak for them, but I doubt they’ll lengthen it. You could put a full location in your sig.

Not to be short with you, but no.
