Is this anarchism? That being naturally emergent formal processes for things which would normally be handled by the government/legal system.

I don't think it's naturally emergent. It's just another case of a centralized entity making some rules people need to follow or else they get banned. It's not too dissimilar from what would happen on eBay if someone complains about a seller.

What if centralized authories are naturally emergent because individuals demand them?

Do yourself a favor and demystify the dark web for yourself. Some of the best information is exclusively nestled in forums and marketplaces over there. If you rely on an incentive model of being caught in order to behave, something darknet doesnt offer, that says more about you than anyone else.

I’m interested - how do I find it?

Is there a guide? List of places to visit?

Can you give a few examples of what sorts of information is best found in the dark web?

People who rely on an incentive model only are typically psychopaths or sociopaths.

What you are saying is that Darknet has no mechanism for policing sociopaths, and therefore is likely to attract them.

No ability to enforce makes it moot. At most you get banned from the forum.

You're doing shady stuff with some fucked up people and it could be anybody incl the feds so reputation is invaluable.

I imagine its like ratings on ebay but much much higher stakes.

Typically over a Tor circuit I visit dark.fail and then switch to the onion url so that exit nodes arent being used

Onion addresses frequently change so no use bookmarking them

Dark.fail lists a variety of forums, marketplaces, marketplaces with forums, and their current addresses and whether those sites are up or down

It also has links to a variety of mainstream media news sources and various government resources that you can browse on native onion routes

Dread is the biggest forum, reddit clone. A variety of subreddits to hang out in and chat. It is often down though, at least compared to modern clearnet services.

I'm curious about the dark web like I am with a lot of technology, but I've always been subject to a (perhaps self-imposed) chilling effect where I fear being "marked" simply for researching the tools. Am I just being paranoid/chicken?

It ceases to be anarchism the moment it becomes involuntary. Otherwise it's just another system of authority.

Isn’t any system of governance in a given region (geographic, or virtual) involuntary? Unless you just mean “you can leave if you don’t like it,” but that’s true for all systems of governance.

Which has nothing to do with you or any specific persons use of onion services
