Are there onion/i2p versions of pirate sites? I think we are reaching this point.
yes, in the sidebox on wiki...

I hope that someday we'll reach a point where I2P becomes popular enough that normies use it. Once torrents, IPFS, emule and other technologies are made to work on I2P, I doubt there'll be a way to put that genie back into the box.

Are there currently any viable examples of this out there? "Viable" in this case meaning you can find stuff on there and it's easy to set up, I guess
Only torrents work I2P at the moment. qtorrent and biglybt allow downloading torrents from I2P and the clearnet. There was an emule clone for I2P, but not sure if that still exists 🤔 There are anonymous websites (eepsites) just like onionsites - there's an I2P torrent tracker called postman. No idea if somebody has figured out how to make IPFS or other tech work on I2P.

Never gonna accept that I2P and Freenet and Tor-as-darknet (and whatever else) get so little attention. We managed to get Lemmy to be a thing but most of us just kinda hope clearnet sites on corporate systems and networks stay up instead of going for alternative networks that may be harder to control? Bleh.
