Retroshare allows you to establish encrypted connections between you and your friends to create a network of computers, and provides various distributed services on top of it: forums, channels, chat, mail... Retroshare is fully decentralized, and designed to provide maximum security and anonymity to its users beyond direct friends. Retroshare is entirely free and open-source software. It is available on Android, Linux, MacOS and Windows. There are no hidden costs, no ads and no terms of service.

Make sure to select "Hidden node (over tor)" when creating your node. See screenshot, otherwise your incoming connections may not work.
Monero and Tor are really old tech as well, but like Retroshare there is nothing like them around.
I mean old like not maintained, the debian packages are for v9. Tor and Monero have active devs. I think we're gonna struggle with any system that's pure peer-to-peer, servers solve the offline person issue. But I like you and would support the idea. I tried to connect, but you're offline. You use Matrix? SimplifiedPrivacy@hackliberty.org , we can coordinate when you'll be online to connect retro
Btw can servers seeding be setup? Like if its just run on a VPS as a client, wouldn't that solve the offline issue?
he's online; make sure you use version 0.6.7 [latest appimage 2024-02-10]
Server setup is easy and would help storing offline mail. In the end it's about rebuilding models of trust. Trust can be managed very fine grained, like in RL. Its much different than anything else.
