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.

    From my understanding, the criminal acts wouldn’t be on the lemmy instance, rather it’d be discussing what other tor sites are (relatively) safe to use for said criminal acts

      As an FBI agent myself, I’m legally required to tell you that FBI agents will tell you to use compromised sellers

        That’s fair. Well, there aren’t any illegal goods im interested in anyway so no problems here!
