Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PeacefulBayonet Peaceful Bayonet (@PeacefulBayonet) reported

    @UncyBucky @Leekshooter Imagine if your neighbor down the street just got out of prison, stole your canoe from your yard when you weren't around, and posted it on craigslist the very next day for sale. He actually did that to someone once.

  • Space_turtle1 Sam Landis (@Space_turtle1) reported

    @patfkauffman Excellent. My experience with Twitter only dates back to April, but it was a mess. It seemed run down. There were a lot of weird bots or tweets that were scams. Kinda like old school craigslist.

  • GregNimer Greg Nimer (@GregNimer) reported

    @samroseloui Shared it with friends Got the idea down on paper Shared with more friends Assembled small focus groups showed them the concept on paper Asked a series of questions Used Craigslist to hire a few people to play some games Watched them interact Asked for input

  • Flavahflave1 Pupu Platter (@Flavahflave1) reported

    @mrmoneymustache @BowTiedBull predicted used car market crashing now into Q1. Think we’ll be seeing many deals early next year. Prices already down on craigslist, but still have sellers asking insane prices

  • GenXRenegade Gen X Renegade 300 (EMO ☠ ALLY) (@GenXRenegade) reported

    @Kasandroid @forbidden_wine @Eugenia_Cooney The same person who tried to hire someone on craigslist to pretend to be Eugenia’s maid, and unanimously agreed upon who most likely prank called her phone the first time. Why do you harbor such terrible people on that sub? Can you honestly blame anyone of us for being angry?

  • swannsong82 Plant Parenthood 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@swannsong82) reported from Houston, Texas

    I haven’t seen this many different nightstands since before Craigslist casual encounters was taken down.

  • craigcherlet Craig Cherlet - Start and Grow 🔥🚀 (@craigcherlet) reported

    @GwendalBrossard Just look at Craigslist. Ugly basic design hasn't changed in decades. If it solves a problem and doesn't get in the user's way of doing it then it doesn't have to be pretty.

  • steveoace1 Steve (@steveoace1) reported

    @elonmusk You should still buy apple,,, fix it up and flip it!!! To Mexico or list on Craigslist

  • lucidalexxx Alex (@lucidalexxx) reported

    3) Develop a freelance skill, mine was fixing phones. Throw an ad up on Craigslist saying you’ll fix phone screens (offer mobile repair if you have the means to do so) Do not only do repairs. Constantly look for unlocked iPhones with cracked screens that you can repair and flip.

  • Ledgerlinez1 Ledger_Linez (@Ledgerlinez1) reported

    I remember ******** and Craigslist was popular for that at one time. They shut it down bcoz of child trafficking and ****.

  • WhitebreadHill The Unknown Cat (@WhitebreadHill) reported

    @BigTanGringo Mine is a 50 year old GE model designed to vent outdoors ...$30 on craigslist about 5 years ago. I rigged some AC vent to fit and the only trouble is to remind Julie to use it. The motor was loud, so she hated it ...fixing that as we speak.

  • yvkoff Liane Yvkoff (@yvkoff) reported

    @Robby_DeGraffAP It’s my personal opinion that Craigslist founder craig new mark feels bad for destroying newspapers and is letting his product die a slow and painful death as penance

  • ChetSucks Gary Wallace (@ChetSucks) reported

    @micsolana @AladinKumar1 Yes it’s cumulative but it excludes friends & family payments. The real problem is that it ensnares people selling used stuff on eBay/craigslist. You’re now required to prove to the IRS you sold the goods for less than you paid, or you get taxed on sales as if it were income.

  • FluentinTrauma Steven Riley (@FluentinTrauma) reported

    @nathaliejacoby1 My boy leo I saved him from some pretty terrible people who wanted to sell him on Craigslist to some dog fighters to use as bait. Had him 5 years and love him more than anything else on this planet

  • VenomKitetsu Venom (@VenomKitetsu) reported

    @XboxSoftmodKit 100-150. There's a retro shop nearby that probably sells the console alone for almost 200. They do repairs though and are just real good about handling issues so they earned it. Random Craigslist or Ebay though should really be between 100-150.

    @Kasandroid @forbidden_wine @Eugenia_Cooney The same person who tried to hire someone on craigslist to pretend to be a genius made, and unanimously agreed upon who most likely prank called her phone the first time.

  • corpuscollossus No BIllionaires (@corpuscollossus) reported

    @junglemandan Craigslist connections: Savant poker players seeks travel girlfriend. Must not cause problems.

  • sissynicole69 sissynicole (@sissynicole69) reported

    @cd_kelli Used to have a lot of luck on Craigslist before they shut it down can you recommend any other places I am 100% bottom but I have to admit I would definitely put my tongue in your ***

  • CunniLinguist77 💀SpookyLittleComic👻 (@CunniLinguist77) reported

    Craigslist missed connections: You were the hot, older guy at the dance/I was the awkward girl who leaned against the table to check out the playlist and knocked down the table, then danced like Samantha Fox when she noticed everyone was staring.

  • BrennanKC Bojack Horsepaste (@BrennanKC) reported

    @the_autopian Power hardtop on the Merc "hasn't been tested". Best Craigslist speak for broken since, "needs a fuel pump" or "needs some adjustments".

  • aquariusdreamer iloura (@aquariusdreamer) reported

    At least my car is half paid off. Before when I was a SAHM I was always surfing the free stuff on craigslist. I'd look for garage sales. Furniture as a poor person sucks. Almost forced to buy from a rent a scam. They never last. They always break down before done paying for it.

  • AuntyBae1 Aunty Bae (@AuntyBae1) reported

    @Daaalllas Currently watching how to fix a drug scandal. But I just finished worst roommate ever and the Craigslist Killer. Recommend anything?

    Craigslist to close down CEO

  • EdMakowski Ed Makowski (@EdMakowski) reported

    @Robby_DeGraffAP I never seem to have the experiential frustrations other people have with marketplace. Found it to be a generally painless platform. But I also have no problem asking questions and a pretty developed intuition. Yeah, lots of crickets at Craigslist lately.

  • AriT93 Ari Turetzky (@AriT93) reported

    @dots731 Mastodon hasn’t been terrible so far. And seems to be the place everyone is hanging out while waiting to see how it all turns out. Hive has lots of naked people so I think they’re going for the Craigslist crowd.

  • ajchavar AJ (@ajchavar) reported

    Digital advertising rates, classifieds vs craigslist, etc. These were not issues that journalists created. Many were/are in fact acutely aware of the issues at play! Reporters jobs are not to negotiate ad rates or do competitive analyses of businesses in the same segment.

    @Robby_DeGraffAP I find that while the volume is way down on craigslist ($5/post for cars + FB marketplace) that it ends up filtering out a lot of garbage especially if you are searching by owner. Outside mid>large metros though it gets real rough

  • feelzlikeawheel leyo (@feelzlikeawheel) reported

    @duckbldg the floyd couches look terrible. I see them all the time on marketplace/craigslist - they seem uncomfortable, sad, & lumpy
