The events that back everything here are out on relays, you can query them directly if you don't like the UI. it's just an interface layer that is meant to make things easier.
But it's 100% built on nostr, so you can just use nak if you'd prefer. There is no privileged database anywhere.
Where does the About say arbiters exist and simultaneously don't exist?
Maybe you're confusing the fact that you can just assign yourself as your own arbiter if you want? You can be: Your own curator, your own Arbiter, your own Worker, your own Patron. In that configuration, you're just fundraising directly with no extra parties involved (and I couldn't see how you could possibly have an issue with that).
Try as you might, you're not going to find a sneaky gatekeeping/permissioned backdoor somewhere. The protocol is entirely open. And you're sort of being a jackass, honestly.
