Hi,

I want to bring some (ideas?) in relation to damn+activitypub[1]. Qeef 
have two arguments against it :-)

- Real-time notifications are unhealthy
- Mapping usually needs long-term effort

I know damn have RSS support ( one way sync ), "but" :-) ... Btw i don't 
know if this is some crazy idea ( activitypub support )

- If DAMN join "federation" could bring more attention? Maybe... ( 
https://fediverse.party/ | https://fediverse.info/ | 
https://www.fediverse.to/ )
- I see some advantage when you have "two way sync"... This create 
community around the platform ( bots, retoot, stats, notifications )
- You can monitor with RSS but you cant give feedback ( like have your 
federate account to interact with other people working in your area )
- Best way to advertise the working areas? ( Some fediverse spam could 
help here... With RSS is possible, with some bridge and glue i think )
- Reminders!! Yes, i need a lot of them xD ... ( The Area 2443 of DAMN 
is going to close for inactivity... Thanks Mastodon! )
- Sometimes real-time notifications are good :-) ... ( Remote 
Notathon/Mapathon with people working directly on area... Like auto 
update notes area recently added )

I'm federation advocate, certainly i don't know if this would change the 
game with damn... But i want to give some ideas.
