Hey guys,

Years and years ago, Reddit had a sub where you could discuss darknet markets. For those uninitiated, a darknet market is a Tor hidden service where you can buy contraband with cryptocurrency.

Unfortunately, several years ago, Reddit shut down this sub because it “violated new rules about the sale of illegal goods” and most of that discussion has moved elsewhere. But with the rules being looser on the fediverse, would anyone be interested in setting up a forum for such discussion here? Would the admins here even allow it?

I’m really excited about how Lemmy can bring back certain communities disallowed by Reddit.

    True, Dread is already a thing but it’s hard for normies to reach. /r/darknetmarkets used to be that bridge for newbies to configure Tor and get onto the darknet.

      Maybe a community around how to get set up with tor, and basics of opsec and that sort of thing would be ok. I think talkinging about markets themselves and the products you get there is playing with fire, set them up to get to Dread, and have them take it from there.
