Craigslist Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • H90proMac Mac (@H90proMac) reported

    @GarrettForMI Umm, how about just by a log splitter off Craigslist for that? Or just get a cord delivered and stacked then spend the rest of the weekend banging with the wife and watching football rather than occupational therapy for micropeen issues

  • ktdrg Katja [🔰🏳️‍⚧️❓] Antares, a 🐱🐲. (@ktdrg) reported

    @HYENABLOOD yEAH …another instrument to consider: see if anyone's ever selling, like, any woodwind for way too cheap on Craigslist or whatever. Even if it's Kinda Broken. Running a janky, beaten up sax through that many pedals could be incredible.

  • seed_oils_ k(nick)s (@seed_oils_) reported

    should i buy a 30 year old volvo with no heat or a/c and a broken radio from a man on craigslist

  • murdermuffin666 rat with the devil horns 🤘🐀🤘 (@murdermuffin666) reported

    rat care is so much more complicated than buying a couple from a random byb on craigslist and calling it a day pls stop buying them as "easy" pets for your children and letting them get bit/watch a beloved pet die traumatically from health issues bc you won't pay for the vet lol

  • BigNutsNFT Elon Smell My Musk 🇺🇦 💉 x5 (@BigNutsNFT) reported

    @CNN Awe yes I see the problem. Craigslist dating noooo goood

  • MasonPress4 Mason Press (@MasonPress4) reported

    @CNN Craigslist should be shut down. No good comes from it

  • infosecanon Virtual Adept (@infosecanon) reported

    @sogonsec @snipeyhead I've had great therapists that made me realize how I was cutting myself down and terrible therapists that have told me to 'find friends off craigslist' or that I should 'just take things less seriously' It sucks to find one, but worth it

  • youtseymenow y00tseymenow | deephaus.eth (@youtseymenow) reported

    @tdangy I paid a guy $20 on craigslist to fix this. Was able to be fixed 3 separate times before it was unrepairable!

  • SyProtSid Maker of Nonagon Dot Finance (@SyProtSid) reported

    @VitalikButerin you mean the chicken and egg issue when bootstrapping users / ads / products in a marketplace like Alibaba? CraigsList?

  • seuncr8vwox SEUN AGBELUSI (@seuncr8vwox) reported

    Wonder why Craigslist is still existing. The govt should have shut it down, it’s crime ridden.

  • badGlfr Ken L (@badGlfr) reported

    @CNN Boys and girls, the problem with meeting strangers on Craigslist is. . .

  • MaxHEXposure MaximumHEXposure (@MaxHEXposure) reported

    @MMCrypto You'd only have to sell ~6,548 more of those million $ whips to buy up the new #Bitcoin being minted out of thin air THIS YEAR to keep the price from going down 😬. Now I haven't checked Craigslist, but you might be the only one who did.... -max $HEX

  • brigleb Brigleb.irl (@brigleb) reported

    Craigslist would be so much easier to use if they’d just use system fonts instead of Times New Roman for the UI. Wouldn’t slow the site down, either.

  • augustmom3 August Mom (@augustmom3) reported

    @Laura15Edwards Have you checked your local Craigslist or Marketplace on Facebook? There are free ones out there. They won’t ship a piano- you have to pick it up - locally. That can be a problem. Try looking and good luck.

  • Katelynjontel Kate is Tired (@Katelynjontel) reported

    trying to convince my fiancé that buying a commercial soft serve ice cream machine off of Craigslist is the answer to all of life’s problems

  • edward_w_hood 🇺🇸Edward W. Hood🇮🇱 (@edward_w_hood) reported

    @RobinhoodApp uses the 💩iest identification provider on planet Earth. It's beyond terrible. If you lose access to your phone number, good luck getting access to your trading account. They probably hired a programmer on Craigslist to write their app. #robinhood #garbage

  • secondserval 🔞 serval (@secondserval) reported

    > how do you feel about one night stands One time, Alex invited someone he got off Craigslist for us to play with and we both went down on him and made out around his ****. It was pretty hot. Anyway I don't care, just be safe about it

  • Monkeh_tm defense contractor enthusiast (@Monkeh_tm) reported

    To be clear there's no morality debate it's the vaguely written law that shut down Craigslist personals or whatever

  • at0micv0mit daniel (@at0micv0mit) reported

    hiring random people off craigslist to call me boss and solve made up problems

  • yourbuddyspooky Spooky & the New Way Forward!!⚡🚗 (@yourbuddyspooky) reported

    @kimmie_c_ I set up YouMail on my phone to send any calls from her to a "number not in service" message so she'd drop me. And because the emails were through Craigslist, as soon as the listing went down, so did her ability to contact me via email.

  • grimy_crank Grimy Crank (@grimy_crank) reported

    @mschlapp “riots only get funded” Idiot ******** moron, with zero pieces of evidence anywhere ever, seriously believes that rioting is a paying gig. Like, everyone saw ads on Craigslist or something? Grandpa should put the tweeter down and go back to Matlock reruns. Grandpa so stupid!!

  • JazzNSummer Jazz N. Summer (@JazzNSummer) reported

    @CNN I thought they shut that website down after I saw a movie on Lifetime called the “The Craigslist Killer” 🫢

  • Malcontent79 Malaphor life (@Malcontent79) reported

    Craigslist listings are ******* wild. There's a couple out there who want a roommate they can bone down with for $800/month. Come on now, let's be honest, you two: YOU would be paying ME in that scenario

  • yourbuddyspooky Spooky & the New Way Forward!!⚡🚗 (@yourbuddyspooky) reported

    @kimmie_c_ Oh boy do I have a story for you. #StorytimeWithSpooky Years ago, I worked in NYC & picked up IT gigs from Craigslist. These were things that someone might call an IT helpdesk to fix. My wifi is busted, my mouse doesn't work, stuff like that.

  • TonyaJoRiley Tonya Riley (@TonyaJoRiley) reported

    My biggest life hack is posting heavy broken things "for parts" on Craigslist/Nextdoor instead of paying for junk removal which is easily the cost of the item in some cases.

  • WaybackBot Wayback Bot (@WaybackBot) reported

    Craigslist to close down website

  • JohnGordoneNYC GordoneInterviews (@JohnGordoneNYC) reported

    @CybeleRain Craigslist is still acting the same after all the shutdowns. Are did it just wait until the commotion died down to behave like nothing happened

  • ArtofDavidW David Wentworth Art (@ArtofDavidW) reported

    @ilanartist my ability to get work done plummets when temp gets above 76 -- we have apt. AC, but i got a window AC unit off craigslist for my bedroom to cut down on the electric bill.

  • terileemcclain Teri McClain (@terileemcclain) reported

    @VABVOX @UROCKlive1 Very terrible and a sad story !!!! People are savages and he is mostly like guilty and did it but on a separate note Who meets people on craigslist 😬

  • RpgrsD Daniel Storm 🚨DICE GIVEAWAY PINNED🚨 (@RpgrsD) reported

    things I have learned along the way. 1) When you buy used you run a risk of it not working properly. I always try to test out audio equipment when I buy it second-hand. If I'm on FB marketplace or Craigslist buying something, I usually insist on testing it out first.
