@J they create their own endpoints using their own formats for linking domains to names instead of using .well-known and webfinger or something. event construction is a mishmash of object properties and flattened properties in arrays. this mess is done to avoid having a canonicalization scheme. the specific way they did it relies on position inside arrays, it's just really fucking bad. the event ids, if you want interop, rely on a centralized process of recognizing event ids instead of using like namespaced strings or hash of a deterministic layout spec. when they define new events a number of them hardcode lists of services or functionality so now for eternity you have to just create new proposals to add to that list long after a service it mentions could possibly die. events for things like reporting content have a hardcoded list of reasons instead of configurable and the list was made by a stupid person
