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 don’t think lemmy is supposed to be a home for illegal things but I imagine an individual instance can do whatever they want
I was promised the fediverse was a lawless place where we could discuss whatever we wanted. What I’m now hearing is that I’ll need to find somewhere else to discuss my plans for genetically engineered mice, one with a 9th level genius, and the other somewhat insane?
This is bullshit and I demand a refund!
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Number one mistake when doing shit: asking NPCs for approval.
Well, it’s not illegal to talk about buying drugs online, right? I think the legal implications are much smaller than people think, especially with Lemmy still being pretty niche. But I’ll probably try hosting on a smaller instance and see how it goes.
Lemmy may be niche but it’s extremely easy to monitor. There’s a fine line between discussion and facilitation. It’s all a matter of how risk adverse you are.
Discussion on a topic is not illegal imo. If anything it’s actuallly good, as if you’re gonna do something anyway, it’s best to have information on it.
Abstinence or lack of sex-ed doesn’t solve anything. The war on drugs solved nothing. Information saves lifes.
