Not really, or rather, not most of nostr. But it’s not impossible.
I believe one could choose to only use relays that connect exclusively via onion routing, and only use a nostr client in Tor browser (or a mobile client with Tor always enabled).
But if that content is ever published to any other relay, then it becomes clearnet content, and if you connect to any relay on clearnet (ie not via onion links) then your activity & content is no longer deep/dark.
I may be missing the more advanced/nuanced technical details here, but to the best of my knowledge that’s basically it.
Perhaps a privacy pro like our dear friend nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka can elaborate on this, or correct me if I’m missing something(s) 🫡
Sounds right to me. Accessing the "Dark Web" requires Tor (or Tor2ip gateways/proxies, but that defeats the purpose and is not a good idea). Nostr can use Tor connections (mainly as a user privacy function). Amethyst supports accessing onion services via Orbot, but, as far as I know, no other clients support it... yet. Many relays are also already running Tor onion services, though it's still not easy to discover and thus use them (this is hopefully going to be easier moving forward), but the posts are still widely visible over clearnet.
Thanks homie; very nicely put 🤝
