That's unfortunate indeed and I understand your frustration. It is not representative though. You do need a server and a domain name, but that isn't out of place when hosting internet based services like a chat server.

The technology to run a low bandwidth protocol over onion services has been around for 10+ years.

That avoids most of the need for domain, DNS configuration, SSL and SSL certificates.

A centralized chat server e.g. IRC runs on a raspberry.

Briar, as I said, runs without servers and provides also blogs and forums.
