The beauty of #ActivityPub
Yes, Loops federates, and admins can enable any remote instance video posts to appear in local follower feeds AND you can even include them in the For You page ✨
Feed RSS
Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

Yes, very likely.
When I built the core software for a bank more than a decade ago, I did the same.

There isn’t anything that says my server should return the latest known state of a post, including my interactions with it.
And sure, I can refetch any activity from the inbox via proxyUrl (except non-public), but nothing guarantees my server will add the current remote state of a post to its internal representation and return this.
So this forces a thick client situation, to have what should be fairly standard User Experience.

Of course implementations may vary but the spec isn’t clear, so let’s improve this, yeah! https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-api/issues/52

ActivityPub client developer experience is something like this.
Building a coherent feed with stateful objects requires comparing an Activity from the inbox, with what’s in your outbox.

@reiver@mastodon.social pretty sure this kind of ambiguios why Stripe represents everything in cents, no? 😏

AFAIK, it is an IETF JSON thing, and wasn't part of the original (pre-IETF) JSON.
Here's the oldest version of the JSON spec I could find:
https://web.archive.org/web/20030228034147/http://www.crockford.com/JSON/index.html
It defines "number" as in the screen-shot, and doesn't say anything about floating-point numbers.
...
I do agree with you that the reason IETF JSON talked about floating-point numbers is almost certainly because of JavaScript.

@reiver that's a json thing, which is itself a JavaScript thing. JS doesn't have an integer type, only number, which is a double precision floating point. Json is a serialization spec for JavaScript objects, and jsonld is spec for pretending that adding one property to a json document makes it a collection of rdf triples and then getting mad about it when the rest of the world just wants things to be parseable
