Ask HN: Private group chat with no registration
UnrealIRCD front-ended by TheLounge web interface that has history would fit what you described, but the setup is not super quick. No registration would be required, TheLounge provides chat persistence. Both are open source. Visitors would not need to be technical and would not need to know IRC commands. Rooms can be deleted by the channel operator. TheLounge is browser based and does not require any additional software.

Darknet exploration group?
Trivial. Set up your favorite IRC server, UnrealIRCd would be fine, then create a tor onion service, but instead of forwarding port 80 (HTTP), you'd forward 6667 (IRC). Done.

I don't think raTox receives nearly enough attention: https://github.com/pranomostro/ratox

What banned subreddits YOU would like to see brought back?
I'm not a fan of IPFS (I've tried it many times, from the beginning), but Hypercore has made significant improvements. If you're looking for FLOSS mutable torrents, that's probably the best we've got right now (as scary as that may be). Cockroachdb, VPNCloud, and raTox might also be worth your time. At the very least, I could see value in making it expensive to play whack-a-mole on those who are willing to host. Ideally, it would be effortless to mirror or contribute back.
