Craigslist Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SHL0MS 𒐪 (@SHL0MS) reported

    @fleshsimulator this is one of those modest urban legends that makes you feel smart but actually is bullshit. there is a kernel of truth because it used to work on craigslist, but they fix common misspellings now as does eBay. Facebook fuzzes so much that this will show up in any relevant search

  • tuliphypomania s’amb (@tuliphypomania) reported

    You can argue that Ticketmaster is a large enterprise that unethically profits from this, and I’d agree. But regulating them or shutting them down probably won’t solve the scalp problem, it’ll just move to ad hoc platforms like Craigslist or something

  • mattyjay96 Salomon (@mattyjay96) reported

    @shagbark_hick It's because Craigslist got harangued into cracking down on prostitution and stolen property sales, while Facebook is held to no such standard.

  • setiriver p k (@setiriver) reported

    @chamath Move slow and forge things as in how Meta approaches product development (i.e copy snap, twitter, craigslist, etc etc)

  • marxvee_ marxvee✨ (@marxvee_) reported

    After several amounts of pressuring from my mom to find a new car, I found a decent looking (on the outside at least in the pictures) car on craigslist with a promising amount of miles (132k). They only ever mentioned the radio face being missing in terms of issues. (3/8) 🧵

    @shagbark_hick Because Craigslist had a massive problem with scammers. They're on FB too but not as much as Craigslist during it's fall.

    @uncledoomer Craigslist died when they had to shut down dating ads after that guy killed four women

  • Clarrisa326 Clarissa326 (@Clarrisa326) reported

    @shagbark_hick I have also had issues with FB marketplace buyers trying to low ball me on price. Craigslist buyers just don’t text if they don’t like my price. Craigslist is definitely superior.

  • KelliSwanArt Custom Drawings by Kelli Swan (@KelliSwanArt) reported

    @shagbark_hick I love using Craigslist! Have moved numerous household items ... and without all the intrusive tracking of fb. Spam is an issue, but if you word your listing well, it's easy to spot who (or what) didn't bother to read the listing.

  • mkmichaelwriter Melissa Michael 💛🤍💜 (@mkmichaelwriter) reported

    @shagbark_hick Too many scams and pricks on Craigslist. I had an ad for petsitter taken down because some dork decided it was miscategorized in Service. I asked him how it should be categorized. It's a service I come to your house and perform for you. I'm not selling a tangible product!.

  • palmerwilliamj William Palmer (@palmerwilliamj) reported

    @FeudieBeauty @pinkbookmark You got that right. It is a beautiful cat. After what she did to the other cat was terrible because it was vocal and needed attention, I have a feeling she is on a no adoption list. That's why she got it off Craigslist.

  • PineTreeAppeal Pine Tree Appeal (@PineTreeAppeal) reported

    @shagbark_hick Craigslist was overrun by scammers. With Facebook we’re mostly dealing with people’s real identity connected with their friends, sometimes listing their jobs, and their history of past deals. Removing the anonymity cut down on the rampant fraud.

  • Cassius_Reborn CassiusReborn (@Cassius_Reborn) reported

    @shagbark_hick I have a friend who was selling his furniture cuz moving and needed to slim down lots of stuff. He likes Craigslist much better. However... had much more success selling quickly on FB Marketplace in his location. If you have something generic, FB Marketplace works best.

  • Atomic_Ferret Richie Rich (@Atomic_Ferret) reported

    @shagbark_hick The other problem with Marketplace is if I leave the page up on something that catches my eye and do nothing else, the feed refreshes when I try to go back to it and it isn’t always easy to find it again. Craigslist never did that.

  • the_watch_dude TheWatchDude (@the_watch_dude) reported

    @shagbark_hick In cities, Craigslist is a good way to get killed. Just down the road, there was a dude killed in his car in front of his family in the crowded parking lot of a restaurant over a pair of shoes.

    @WCPO @TanyaORourke Paid cash for a Lexus LX 470 off craigslist for $5 it ran no problems for 4 years then I had to get new rotors and a tuneup ran another 4 years smh

  • kjgillenwater K J Gillenwater (@kjgillenwater) reported

    @shagbark_hick I'll tell you why. There was never good pages for smaller locations on Craigslist. For example, Wyoming is a massive state, but all that exists is ONE Craiglist page. For the whole state. I'm not driving 8 hours to find out your grandma's rocking chair has a broken spindle or has a made-in-China sticker on it when I thought it was antique. Craigslist was great for VERY metropolitan areas. FB works for everyone. Most small towns and less citified places have local pages on FB where they get the news, gossip, and can buy stuff. It's great.

    @shagbark_hick Craigslist started charging you to list some items and everyone got pissed. They also took down personals and that was the end.
