I can see how it may be helpful, e.g. to see when to expect a reply. Maybe it does make sense to provide a 'finger' page for each user where they can voluntarily add such info. Forcing it is creepy, and may be wrong if using proxies

Bubble does not collect any location information, apart from the voluntary time zone setting, so this statistic cannot be shown. I have no intention of implementing this either.
You can currently set a user flair about your continent or mention it in the profile description.
There are actually some quite strong laws around this stuff in some places ... Europe for example ... you're not even allowed to collect such data without permission, you certainly can't display it to the world :)

I don't care about any individuals info, that's why I wanted the info on the /status page.
And after having slept on it what I actually wanted is what time of the day (UTC) people post here during the last 30 days. It doesn't even need to be accurate to the hour but could be in blocks of 3-4 hours.
Edited: "do" => "don't" in the first sentence.
Use grid locators in your bio for a customized degree of ambiguity, i.e. CN85ad
(if you want to volunteer that information)
Oh, I forgot we already have a 'description'b in the profile page. where is it shown though..
many of us use tor or vpn. i think most of us. so objective picture is not possible.

At the top of Mount Everest you will find a hole. Inside the hole is a long ladder. Climb down the ladder for a few days until you start to sweat. Don't worry, the bright light approaching you is just the subway train. Get on the L2, and get off at Mulbury. You'll see me there on the park bench.
Geolocation — I got curious on which continents users of bbs.geminispace.org are located so I wounder if the status page could show that?
