[event] syntax is reproduced verbatim in ActivityPub federated posts, and it looks really bad.
Ideally, the basic event data would be displayed. If not, then al the content between the brackets should be removed.
See an example:

Thanks for this note, this is something I’ve been meaning to do, i.e. parse out commonly used custom markup, e.g. from the Post Events Plugin. I will do this soon.

Hi @angus ! Just curious, is this implemented? And is this possible to get supporting custom syntax? I just made some custom code and syntax like [game id=317407] comes as is to federated post.
Thanks!
I came here looking to ask about just this issue. Angus, is this an improvement you could implement soon? It really is bothersome and rather embarrassing 
to see event markdown showing up in my mastodon feed. I also use the table of contents liberally on my discourse which also gets exposed markdown.
Because updates also get published to mastodon (which is awesome for wikis!) you can’t even hack this by posting first without the markdown and adding it afterwards.
