IMO peer-to-peer chat is a mostly-solved problem. I think the problem that needs addressing is not lack of peer-to-peer technology, but lack of adoption. People (mostly) don't care, so they (mostly) won't switch unless you strong-arm them in some way or another, or convince them to care. And either way, if they're not close to you, you basically have no influence on them, so you still end up needing to use non-free, non-private modes of communication. Network effects are rough.
