Jam page meta descriptions show incorrect dates for jams with rating periods #1288

Hi!

I've noticed that jam pages' meta descriptions (for Twitter cards, Discord embeds, etc.) show jams as running to the end of the rating period, not to the end of the submission period. I can't see any reason that this might be intentional, and I can see it creating unpleasant situations for participants who end up with a false understanding of how long they have to make stuff.

The Twitter card for this jam says it runs from 2022-04-20 to 2022-05-10 image

But as the jam page itself shows, the submission deadline is 2022-04-30 image

This seems present in meta tags for twitter:description, og:description, and description

agreeing with all of the above as most expect End = Submission deadline.
