   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.
