dumb bait post, if you've figured out a way to cheaply (for open source projects) provide high quality group video calls internationally (the specific scenario Signal was talking about) without hyperscalers and also , please let us know, otherwise don't strawman them

@jackie signal choose AWS etc from the get go. Video call were introduced, what, ten years later?

@jaystephens @jackie thanks for correcting and the precision -- we didn't quite follow the evolution of signal's call support. The point stands that video calls were not moxie's original key reason to go for hyperscalers and centralization (see https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ )
