I've shared how things are set up with a few people over on Mataeus. Most of them went "oh crap" at the amount of manual work involved in validating / refreshing / vetting events and backed away slowly from my level of insanity.
The backbone of it is just a google calendar and a google form for event submission. It requires some manual curating as events fall off without notification as people quit / take breaks and you get someone not involved that actually sends the removal requests. This requires manual validation that the event is really gone, etc.
If real life ever decides to stop kicking me in the shins, I have a framework in place for the discord bot to support multiple calendar feeds and post them to different channels but I barely have the time/energy/sanity to keep up with Balmung and I actually (in the rare occasion RL lets me) play there.
