A discogs replacement would be cool, or an etsy replacement that lets you list your wares for sale and take XMR/BTC, paypal, and all those cashapp things, etc.
I'm not really a fan of BTC becoming more wide spread. I'd prefer something more akin to GNU Taler.
Well then you don't have to accept it, but it's already widespread enough that it should be included, especially when privacy is less of a concern than buying drugs with XMR. I should note that the marketplace idea would be limited to legal items of course. Taler is cool, but not anonymous for both parties like XMR, I'm not saying don't use it, but add it to the list rather than use Taler exclusively. No reason to not take multiple forms of payment and each "store" could choose what it accepts all the way from mailed cash to live chickens (figuratively, idk how that'd work logistically lol).
How? There's no way babysitting something like this to keep it to legal stuff wouldn't be be a full-time multi-person job, and that's before even starting to consider different legalities for different places.
I mean easy, if you see a listing for "heroin" on your instance, ban the acct, hell report their IP if you want. This isn't alphabay, there are already better marketplaces for heroin. To your point, how does lemmy exist with CSAM, isn't that a full time job?
So people selling drugs will just call them something that isn't filtered or known to all the squares, just like they have done for decades on Craigslist.
It's easy to say a marketplace app will be limited to legal stuff, but making that happen in reality is no simple prospect and federating it won't make it any simpler.
Guess we need to shut down every marketplace ever IRL and online then.
