there was a project https://blog.torproject.org/tor-messenger-beta-chat-over-tor... but I don't know what the status is, quick google searches make it seem abandoned


Yeah. Also there's Ricochet and its continuation Ricochet Refresh, but these only do 1:1 messaging AFAIK.[1][2]

Ricochet was a big inspiration for my project Quiet.[3]

Cwtch also deserves a mention, though it depends on ephemeral servers and isn't fully p2p. Briar is another and frequently comes up on HN. [4][5]
