Yes, I did. Just because you make a statement doesn't make it true.
If you want something "gated", some form of privacy is required, otherwise it's public.

No, it's not.
As I said before, gated implies it makes sense only in a specific context. Just like a gated community. An event for HOA meeting Saturday, makes sense in a group with those people in the neighborhood, but is out of context in global. It's not "private", but it doesn't make sense in global. It's not a binary public and private.
Another example is Telegram chats. A message in a telegram chat isn't private, but if telegram was just a stream of millions of messages it wouldn't make sense, it only makes sense because each little channel is gated and only shows messages inside that gate. That doesn't prohibit sharing messages from one telegram to the other, because they're public, they could be shared to multiple communities if the context arises, like a mining group forwards a message about bio gas to a farmers group.
In that case, I'm confused why you care if info from a community ends up on "global".
Does it negatively effect anyone, other than people that only follow a global feed?
Its not negative, it just doesn't make sense. Like you could also have global events shared to a gated community, goes both ways.
Yeah, that was my initial reaction too when @npub1ye5p...knpr was describing this too me. But inherently, the events "leak", which is not a problem, but you need to signal to the clients that "this doesn't make sense in global". Its like when replies to long form posts were just kind 1 and ended up showing up in feeds as orphaned notes making no sense.
That way, they can choose to display them, bc it'd allow them to display them differently, for example the way meetstr does calendars is that events belong to a calendar, these community events could/should be displayed separately. Like John Doe putting out weekly coffee meetup with no description into public makes no sense, but in the context of it being on a community calendar it does
