Free the server source code so anyone else can create their own server, and have an option to decide to which server you want to get connected. This way, companies could use telegram the way their way, the amount of data managed by Telegram servers would be reduced, and the community could help improving it.
Conversations and data would be obviously stored in the server to which the account is connected to in that moment. By default, the app would be connected to the official Telegram servers, and we would simply have to change it to our own server. Greater security, and even better: the opportunity to show that Telegram is definitely legit, and doesn't spy us.
Would be very great for the FOSS community also as TG isnt exactly 100% open source in a way.

Honestly - I don't think that this is going to happen anytime soon, even if I like the idee of a company Telegram a lot: https://t.me/durovschat/515221
The openness of the server-side is fundamental to allow everyone to improve it and to check if there are breaks that Durov and his staff didn't notice (they are humans too, they can make mistakes and oversights). So yeah, it would improve both privacy and sicurity

Open source code is the best security possible AND ensure that nothing is hidden

I still think it'd be great if I could create my own server, even if it's not connected to the official one, and allow my friends, coworkers and family connect to it. Even if those messages are not shared nor sent to the official servers.
