Briar (mobile only) could work well.  It has Forum, Blog, and  
Prive Groups features, in addition to direct messaging to a  
Contact.

Briar works with wifi, cell, bluetooth.

I just learned about https://wigle.net/index today.

It appears that you need an account to see anything useful.
But I asked the user if they can get a report on the network  
status in Iran.  Apparently only *one* live wifi was recorded  
in the last 24hrs in the city of Tehran.
