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.
I agree this would not be a good look for young Lemmy but…
…not all dark websites and not all dark markets are for illegal or immoral things. I’m on a darknet discussion board because the people on it want to be able to speak freely among friends since some of them are public figures or in positions where they should watch what they say in public. No crazy right wing stuff (we are all big soft lefties).
More importantly, some people rely on, or may find themselves seeking out, dark markets to get medications they legit need but for whatever reason cannot legally or easily get.
