Telegram exhibits a distinct advantage of centralized social media while also demonstrating the risks of becoming dependent on centralized social media.

There are tradeoffs.

Telegram allows the uploading of massive media files (video), and performs compression and deduplication as this massive media is shared platform wide.

The ease of distribution of video based content that would normally be censored on other centralized platforms and mainstream media sites is a compelling feature.

In decentralized systems, massive video files uploading is normally prevented, due to fear of out-of-control operating costs.

Developing specs for infrastructure that balances the tradeoffs between operating costs and offering widespread availability of uploading/streaming large videos could be a key use case discussion at events like Nostrasia.  Deduplication would likely be a key part of that infrastructure spec.
