The DU Lounge

I am not aware of such a site, but I think that it would be a good thing to offer a darknеt version of DU. Here is why: there are a lot of people living in communities and neighborhoods which are very hostile to liberal ideas. Also a lot of people do not want to be identified because of potential backlash from employers and family. Using a pseudonym like I do is good enough for most people, but I feel some people might worry about having a connection to this site.
The site that I envision would also have moderators and obviously block illegal/violent content. I also think such an underground site that I envision would allow people to talk about more than just political issues, and it could be a hangout to discuss certain non-political topics like fun facts and family, kind of like Reddit but without the hostile moderators. It would be designed to allow people to communicate safely while resisting identity verification/collection.
What do you think about this?

Would DU survive a demand for all the IP addresses and emails of its members? Could the DOJ (or Palantir) link those emails to real people? Could those people be interrogated, imprisoned or deported?
How many DU users are in fear of ICE? Or should be?
Disclaimer: I'm not a darkweb expert, but I would guess that having access to DU via the darkweb might provide some protection beyond an individual's (your) resistance to oppression?
