Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _feral_hotdog feral hotdog (@_feral_hotdog) reported

    during prime gardening months there’s no issue w/ all of it being taken almost as soon as it’s set out at 6am. now that it’s cooler out ppl have been taking way less. It gets thrown out if no one takes it. trying to put out feelers via Twitter community before going to Craigslist

  • YourGoodFriendR yahanditsyaboyrobert🦌 (@YourGoodFriendR) reported

    some guy has a bike I want but one of the parts is broken, so I asked to take a look at it this weekend even though I have no idea how to fix it (internal gear hub). Sometimes you just need an excuse to talk to a guy off craigslist for ten minutes

  • HannahHugsTrees Hannah/Annacat (@HannahHugsTrees) reported

    @feederofcats This is so terrible and I'm shocked, Haley. Craigslist? Obviously you should sell him on Ebay instead, see what people will bid for him.

  • l1mb0 Eric Black (@l1mb0) reported

    @MrAndyNgo @sfbike I've reported several stolen bikes to SFPD. It is a complete waste of time. They don't care and they aren't going to recover your bike even if you track it down on craigslist yourself.

  • ksuhiebot ksuhie bot (@ksuhiebot) reported

    Fish that ksuhie0 Woman Craigslist nylon string down A a sudden, it was ******* Thats GUY I think that ksuhie0 If I'd never

  • almosttootired almosttootired (@almosttootired) reported

    @jbarro While I totally agree with how annoying it is, online resellers like Amazon are a part of the problem. Thieves went from selling out of trunks & **** shops > Craigslist > eBay, Amazon and online resellers. I wish I had any clue how to combat. It’s a mess ‘we’ pay for 😕

  • HeartofAurelia 🌤 𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒾 🌤 (@HeartofAurelia) reported

    @crowquettes I've known friends to find some on Craigslist for $500, but this was yeeeears ago. A simple car that doesn't have any serious issues will probably range between that and $1500 :/

  • fredostrange formerly BIGBALLER (@fredostrange) reported

    @hermitgod I think they pricing it on you could get a hand me down on letgo or Craigslist for cheap

  • yuhline Yuh-Line Niou (@yuhline) reported

    @shaquanaforbk @NYCHA Shaquana!!!!! Same issue all over our complexes when they replaced the stoves!!!! I finally told nycha imma bout to make a yard sale where I would Craigslist the old stoves for everyone. Lol they came and got them…threatening me with a good time.

  • Flex_Machina Thad Actual (@Flex_Machina) reported

    I quit smoking indoors many years and many houses ago but man do I miss having a smoke on the shitter. Gonna put out a Craigslist ad and see if someone will let me suck down a Marlboro while I blow up their porcelain.

  • maineventjake Jake (@maineventjake) reported

    Unfortunate they took Craigslist casual encounters down, having a really hard time meeting cougars now so I’m buying 101 Dalmatians in hopes one breaks into my house

  • NatalieKrunch Gay Synthesizer Train Lady (@NatalieKrunch) reported

    @bostonbikeunion i guess really I started biking after the announcement that the GLX would be delayed. My mobility post-move was hinged on it for a minute and once they announced that I broke down and got something off craigslist when it isn't terrifying it's really really nice

  • mathewi Mathew Ingram (@mathewi) reported

    But Craigslist charged for certain listings, the investment bankers said -- why not just expand that a little? The company could make billions of dollars overnight, they said. "We only started charging for listings to keep the spam down," Buckmaster said. 4/6

  • _d1sapp3ar_ d1sapp3ar (@_d1sapp3ar_) reported

    @Levi3o4 @davey87654321 It's not about that. It's just the principle of it. Obviously Craigslist is a terrible ****** place for this, but the man's thoughts and intentions were pure (even if a little strange).

  • timwhittaker Timothy Whittaker (@timwhittaker) reported

    A peer to peer craigslist or Facebook marketplace would allow users to buy and sell directly with each other without having to go through a company. I have lost faith in online market places because companies who control them have caused me problems.

  • yburyug yburyug (@yburyug) reported

    I’ve got no problem with a $3000-5000 fee if they really make it easy but I’ve had 3 apartments here and one was via work, the other no fee and it was first residents ever in, and the other via Craigslist renting a room but this’ll be a 2-3 bedroom

  • waelwulf Joan Jetsam (@waelwulf) reported

    @tickled_joker @fujoshivitamins Craigslist exists, grow down if that's what you want.

  • BJJDeadpool BJJ Deadpool (@BJJDeadpool) reported

    I don’t set alarms, I wait for the bed I bought off Craigslist to collapse. Duct tape doesn’t fix everything

  • i_FreeWilly Free ***** (@i_FreeWilly) reported

    If you’re melodramatic enough to vaguely reach out to your ex on a popular craigslist page you were definitely the problem in the relationship.

  • paidoseltonmelo TapFlapAquelasBotaPunk (@paidoseltonmelo) reported

    Woke up this morning Wanted to die Just like every other day So I took some poison I got from some guy Whom I found on craigslist Then I emailеd my family to say I was dead And that I never lovеd them There's only one small problem I'm still alive

  • Queerstarlvr Neon Gender Evangelion 🏳️‍⚧️🌲🪕🏴 (@Queerstarlvr) reported

    @hungrybowtie I've done a lot of looking and made the mistake of putting a lot of money down, honestly look at Facebook marketplace or craigslist and aim for what's there. Make sure the bellows don't have any hole and have the seller sound every note in and out and you may find one ~$100 or so

  • KaileyTracy Kailey Tracy (@KaileyTracy) reported

    Williams also posted Craigslist ad Nov. 5 for child care. She reported Taylor missing the next day. Detectives searched Williams' "very detailed planner" showing daily activities for herself and Taylor. At one point, she stops writing anything down about Taylor, Brooks says.

  • eightfoldpathPM posting class hero (@eightfoldpathPM) reported

    craigslist free. shut my brain down

  • SoSaysET ET (@SoSaysET) reported

    All that said, tfg has basically done everything short of taking out an ad on Craigslist to find representation, w/ no takers. If there were problems or issues with the conduct of the investigation, DOZENS of lawyers would be eager to step in & take the case of a lifetime. 7/

  • OstavNadezhdu 『OSTAV』 (@OstavNadezhdu) reported

    wikimedia foundation spending $50mil on redesigning their browser based text editor ui that wasn't broken. web2.0ification claiming another victim. soon craigslist will be the only usable website on the internet

  • nate_smith vilmibm (@nate_smith) reported

    that said, i don't think craigslist couldn't benefit from small, incremental, thoughtful tweaks. but no, replacing it with a react app and duplicated server side rendering for SEO is not going to make it any easier for anyone (least of all the engineers who work on it)

  • vuuuk81 Vuk Vuckovic (@vuuuk81) reported

    2) AirBnB Problem: Lack of rental properties Solution: Scraped emails from Craiglist for rental properties and encouraged them to switch to their service. Bonus: They made 1-click integration to list to AirBnB from Craigslist

  • jokesavant Mike Fellows (@jokesavant) reported

    The PT Cruiser I bought on Craigslist (while high on pain meds from my tooth extraction) had BB-gun holes in the driver door. I didn’t wanna pay the body shop to fix it so I asked how much to shoot up the passenger door so it matches.

  • freshfrfr FREDDY.ebt (@freshfrfr) reported

    @airmaxtrin @delakleve I think my issue was always it felt like Craigslist. Like a cheap looking UI on the app. So I always thought fake/scam

  • _xiova_ χιονα (@_xiova_) reported

    i just traumatized myself so much by reading about the craigslist cannibal now i have to listen to crest to fix my brain
