I mentioned elsewhere: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FireChat

Seems like people in this thread are inspired by this novel concept that isn't novel at all.

FireChat was in fact used against dictatorial governments during protests in Iraq and Hong Kong. So it fits the aspired goal for the apps suggested here perfectly, and yet still failed as a product.
