To add a custom field, from your site’s admin panel you can setup a user field: `customize > user fields`

This will create a field for a user to fill out in their preferences, and it can optionally be shown on the user card.

If you’re looking to hide information on the user card, the easiest way is by adding custom CSS to your site’s theme.
