There's so many issues with this. The biggest being the need to be online at the same time.

But other issues: using it from multiple devices? Using it from different locations?

Maybe it'll work with a tor hidden service or something because at least that stays the same (I think some chat apps already so that)

The part here is a "DNS for all" approach.

Once you have that, everyone can run their own hosting. Everyone could have their own Matrix server, or whatever flavour of messaging you want.
