Some suggestions below, hopefully there will be other suggestions, in
particular from other end users.

Last write wins might be the easiest to use, but time stamps are not always
accurate. Perhaps start with manual choice.

Omemo should just encrypt when sending from one client and be decrypted
when received by another client so anything on the server is stored encrypted,
but anything on end user devices is decrypted.
