Being encryption needs to be enabled highlights how Telegram is trying to increase users who want privacy & security but don't exactly know how to go about it. Granted, the option makes it a step up above sms, but that's not saying a lot...

FluffyChat (Matrix) . No phone linking . Encryption . Period . The only backdraft is others users needs to register in matrix and when I tell other to do so they ask me if I’m talking about the movies
Private home server. Bridges.
Show them they can have all their chats in one app.
They will beg you for an account.
