    @MalikMcKinney11 @MlCUHS @ChuchiCG Wanna compare irl ****? Cause you look either way kid you’re af looking like my left cheek after a workout you prolly have a car on the brink of breaking down that you got for $800 off of Craigslist, what else ?

  • DaddlyPapa Dad (@DaddlyPapa) reported

    Craiglist shut down at Albuquerque Pride.

  • judahmcauley Judah McAuley (@judahmcauley) reported

    @AInComputerLand @plAIgrounds @inputmag I agree. It isn’t, however, how companies have to be grown and run. Classic example: CraigsList. A company that did one thing well, grew organically, didn’t chase VC money, was profitable. They only took down adult ads because of SESTA/FOSTA.

  • TSHaileyBennett Hailey Bennett (@TSHaileyBennett) reported

    @allure_ariel People don't want to sign up for a bunch of sites, it will hurt the business like when craiglist took down ****** services

  • CJWritesNThangs A guy named Chris who writes and such (@CJWritesNThangs) reported

    Those of us old enough to remember Craiglist pretty much shutting down because of a decency act loophole in another piece of legislation could've seen the demise of Tumblr and now OnlyFans coming.

  • stautistic mitchel lewis (@stautistic) reported

    Damn is Craigslist down for anyone else?

  • VisitorQQQQQQQQ Kelley (@VisitorQQQQQQQQ) reported

  • BarbaraAEdelman (((Barbara Edelman))) (@BarbaraAEdelman) reported

    @funder clean colonoscopy & down 3 lbs!! weight loss reset! and i found the bureau i’ve been hunting for at goodwill, craigslist, estate sales since spring. $20 & an hour drive each way.

  • DavidDusseau1 Soul Owner (@DavidDusseau1) reported

    @tugalacticbori When Craigslist banned their personal ads it forced thousands of girls directly on to the streets and that is the most dangerous gross work there is. When Covid shut down strip clubs the online stuff was the only other outlet. Now they are losing that too. Damn shame.

  • eissyrc Cryssie (@eissyrc) reported

    @SawrasaurusRex Many of those same people lost Craigslist when the personals were shut down. This decision hurts many.

  • missxsatine Miss Satine ✈️ NYC 9/28-9/30 (@missxsatine) reported

    Just thinking about people telling my mom to stop “fearmongering” when Craigslist suddenly shut down the adult services section in 09, forcing her to do street work to make a living until she started getting work on ******** months later. Have you been paying attention?

  • ellevitlavie 🍄🌻ₑₗₗₑᵥᵢₜₗₐᵥᵢₑ🌻🍄 (@ellevitlavie) reported

    This reminds me of when Craigslist Eroric services and shut down, I thought it was all jokes til I actually saw the link to the section removed and my heart dropped a lil bit.

  • bronteerwin UpChuck Comics (@bronteerwin) reported

    @piscadoro All these companies purge the salacious content before they go public. Patreon did it. So did Craigslist and all of the cloud based server companies. To be honest twitter has kept it the most real.

  • asiankittenxo ASIANKITTEN ♡ (@asiankittenxo) reported

    i don't know how people have sofas without a chaise. like, i want to lie down in every room at home. but they are pretty ******* backordered + hard to find at the moment due to china tariffs. gotta shop local or craigslist.

  • sierra_bomb six second sierra (@sierra_bomb) reported

    @triniricanbruja and that’s what i’m worried about. like i’ve had roommates before with little to no issues, but i always found them on craigslist 😬

  • chaddwick chadd (@chaddwick) reported

    ********/Craigslist got shut down for selling ***** and the working girls were able to figure that out. This is just a roadblock.

  • UncleLu85 🇳🇬 Uncle Lu🇳🇬 (@UncleLu85) reported

    @Jlasmakeup @cheritaisrandom Nah. Thats why sites like Craigslist and backpack got shut down.

  • bruno_wilhelm We Hunted The Jackalope (@bruno_wilhelm) reported

    @acidshill @mechanical_monk Pretty much, anyone profiting from human trafficking, even if they don't know they are, can be legally liable. That's why Craigslist straight-up shut down their personal ads.

  • Tinaleigh777 Tina Leigh (@Tinaleigh777) reported

    @SteveHenson He spread her legs and punched her in the vagina so hard she had trouble walking. Ya know...there is kink but unless she is on the dark craigslist side of perv...I think he exceeded some F-ing limits.

  • babysanrio_ denise 🍓 (@babysanrio_) reported

    Wtf why is Craigslist down

  • ElenaJeffreys SexWork101 (@ElenaJeffreys) reported

    So basically any time any way s3x w0rkers make bank, it gets shut down. Thanks for nothing. ******** CraigsList OnlyFans ......... .... .. .

  • theedwardian81 David Smith (@theedwardian81) reported

    @symmo1969 No, it's because MasterCard are threatening to cut off payment processing due to campaigning from the evangelical right. Part of the same thing as shutting down ********, Craigslist, and prompted the big pornhub purge. Loads of threads about it from people who know more on here.

  • asiankittenxo ASIANKITTEN ♡ (@asiankittenxo) reported

    i almost considered getting a brand new custom sofa but even locally, i would have to wait 2-4 months for the sofa to arrive. i ended up using craigslist because i'm tryna lie down now.

  • sudi_ Mac Sauce (@sudi_) reported

    the only thing consistent in this game is change. remember when everybody was up in arms when ******** and craigslist got shut down? **** didnt stop nothin but a lazy mufucka who wasnt meant to be

  • gogglecrab Gogglecrab (@gogglecrab) reported

    @tiddicomiddi @Synk_Live @h3h3productions I'm saying there is a precedent when applications and sites like this can't effectively moderate this kind of thing. Craigslist, ********, whatever. there's always been trouble with minors using these platforms for prostitution, and ******** had trafficking

  • AnonJolt ★ AnonJT ★ (@AnonJolt) reported

    Aww damn I didn't realize you had to be over 18 to use craigslist (I think), I made a listing saying I'm a drummer looking for a band to join and it got flagged and taken down :(

  • naughtynargle Riley Reads 👻 wizard ***** (@naughtynargle) reported

    my dog just drooled down my arm. i’m putting her back on craigslist

  • Katisu3 Katisu (@Katisu3) reported

    Seems like Craigslist will be back on top now that onlyfans is shutting **** down..

  • kevinrigbyjr KR (@kevinrigbyjr) reported

    I still remember the days Craigslist personals went down and the dread that came over me. Now tumblr, pornhub, xtube, onlyfans, and countless smaller websites I’m sure are ******* wrecked and people are losing their livelihoods and occupational safety smh
