What about maintaining encryption for an entire room of clients? I heard it's very difficult and prone to errors. Do you enforce it?

  I use matrix. Every chat room I use is unencrypted and all have at least one matrix.org user. I assume it can be encrypted but the usability is such that in practice it's cleartext.

    As a counterexample: I use Matrix along with ~30-50 people, on a federated server, and every room is encrypted. After sufficiently stressing to people that they need to save their secure backup key, we've had few problems with encryption usability.

      That reminds me of RFC 1925 Truth 3.

        (3) With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead.
