Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JackWeingart Jack Weingart (@JackWeingart) reported

    It's been a minute... Is looking for an apartment on Craigslist a terrible idea? Are all the ads just a bunch of scam artists?

  • Fuujinroku Bondforged Dunban 🧋 #VioRhyseAlberia (@Fuujinroku) reported

    @__N0SFERATU__ i honestly didn't even know craigslist still exists today until just now i thought it shut down a few years ago

  • neipate96 Neil (@neipate96) reported

    @BarneyFlames @jelly_petro @cheesytoast99 I remember after telling us she had an encounter with an older guy off of Craigslist, I commented "that's a terrible idea, she might meet someone as sketchy as she is"

  • mrcurrybun Currybunny (@mrcurrybun) reported

    @DevinDonuts Did craigslist close down or something?

  • below_level BelowSeaLevel (@below_level) reported

    @JenaFriedman Why doesn't one of these billionaires launch a social media company that is funded like Craigslist and Wikipedia that doesn't: listen to you, take ownership of your photos, send you down rabbit holes, etc? We would all leave other platforms for it.

  • jevakallio Jani Eväkallio (@jevakallio) reported

    React was made at Facebook to solve Facebook problems. Angular was made at Google to solve Google problems. Today I learned Marko was made at eBay to solve eBay's problems. That's cool, but what I really want to see is a frontend framework from Craigslist

  • batmankisser420 crow death_ebooks (@batmankisser420) reported

    The problem i have with watching what I expected depeche mode to look at Craigslist.

  • WaybackBot Wayback Bot (@WaybackBot) reported

    Craigslist shuts down spam accounts

  • hiebly Hiebly (@hiebly) reported

    I'm so ******* bad at Craigslist, im so soft and keep letting people negotiate me way down even tho I have enough interested ppl that i dont need to accept a lowball, i just feel rude playing hardball and hate turning ppl down, and dont wanna coordinate between a ton of buyers

  • xXxShmowderxXx Shmowder (@xXxShmowderxXx) reported

    @OliverJia1014 this guy looks like the craigslist advertisement guy where hes down in a half full septic tank all shitted up with **** underwear over his face asking people to go into their tanks for money. How did they **** up this character so bad i wish i had the picture. FFS

  • routhw The Slawmaker (@routhw) reported

    @Meta3web3 How about someone fixing the grammar issues with your website..I’ve seen Craigslist Bots with fewer spelling/grammar issues. #autocorrect

  • unpetitghost a small ghost (@unpetitghost) reported

    is there anything funnier than those terrible pictures boomer landlords put on craigslist of the apartment/house for rent. like when it's a picture taken on a phone of a blurry photo from a disposable camera. and that photo's date says it's from 2012

  • junosomething Cory doesn't tweet real often, sorry (@junosomething) reported

    @leahroseFTW @AngusGibson Don't advertise on Craigslist if you plan on doing something petty. Friend created a listing for the singles section of CL and added the deserving person's phone number behind a login wall. Eventually my friend was found and arrested.

  • CWMaurerWrites C.W. Maurer (@CWMaurerWrites) reported

    @K_T_Pike Fortunately, it's fixable without too much misery. I fixed the front two legs when I got it ($50 craigslist find 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻), but that was far easier when I had the whole thing stripped down to the base for reupholstering. Some glue and braces in inconspicuous spots, and we'll be set

  • zoyaranii zoya (@zoyaranii) reported

    @mvriaiscvriot My dad and i got him off craigslist and when we went to go pick him up he bit the owner so hard that there was blood running down this guy's forearm in rivulets. We bought him anyways.

  • RadiareWandrian (SH) King Ike Mercēnnārius (@RadiareWandrian) reported

    Uhh.. Let's see *he starts writing down a list to make sure he gets them all* > Ike - that one college kid from "Craigslist" > Bike - That other college kid with a leather jacket and a motorcycle > Yike - I will not elaborate > Gawain - Ike Gawain, married to Elinica (cont.)

  • mistertelepathy gabe (@mistertelepathy) reported

    management companies will clog craigslist with 20+ copy pasted posts about their affordable apartments that you need to apply for and then get mad at you when you call bc there's no vacancies... take down the ads then

  • PoppertheCat Popper (@PoppertheCat) reported

    @Russtophocles1 @DevinDonuts I've seen ads like this on Craigslist. It's hard to tell if they're serious, but yeah. They always read the same way. They advertise for a roommate and then reveal about halfway down that you'll be sharing a bed eventually.

  • BigFishSmlPond bigfishsmallpond.eth (@BigFishSmlPond) reported

    @czbonick Thought they shut down that section of Craigslist

  • MeidasBuffalove TheWholeToothAndNothingButTheTooth (@MeidasBuffalove) reported

    @DeMarini Or...OR...a great suggestion from your customer service rep, Trevor..."put the replacement bat up on Craigslist, you'll probably get $300 for it." Seriously, wtf @DeMarini? You've got a defective product and refuse to give people their money back. We don't want your broken bats.

  • LarrysTwin99 Larrys Twin- Chiropractor to the Stars (@LarrysTwin99) reported

    They took down my ‘Need to borrow a Fleshlight for a few hours’ ad from Craigslist.

  • hyakushiki0087 kazuhira miller liker 💌 (@hyakushiki0087) reported

    @Double_0_Snake Idk! The only reason I got mine for cheap was that I got mine on craigslist from a lady who didn't know how to fix it. Getting them new is wayyyy too much tbh

  • BillyBob4200000 Local school teacher (@BillyBob4200000) reported

    @MafiBrey @MN_CRIME I didn’t know shoes were edible? Learn something new everyday. Maybe he bought them used off Craigslist? Or it was handed down to him? GF car? U could also use that gun to protect that baby, from the police shooting instead of attempting arrest?

  • VibeMarshal F(olk P)unkmaster Flex (@VibeMarshal) reported

    One way to help arm trans folks, if you don’t wanna deal with ffl-required stuff, is to hand down old accessories when you tweak your kit. Swapped your basic optic for something fancy when your tax return hit? Are you really trying to deal with selling the old one on Craigslist?

  • goosemanchicago Goosemanchicago (@goosemanchicago) reported

    @breakoutcards_ @Volley_SprtLuva Is this is a joke. This is a horrible terrible video. Don’t buy a black lotus on Craigslist because the serial number is blacked out yea ok thanks

  • ObsessiveKT Katie 🐣 (@ObsessiveKT) reported

    I have spent 11 straight hours watching true crime shows from my sick bed, and I am not down with victim blaming but I am also very concerned by the amount of people who don't do an online search of room mates they find via Craigslist Stay safe people. Google everyone.

  • whydowebuy ₡△ɱ (@whydowebuy) reported

    i've entered the phase of my life where i browse craigslist for cars i have no intention of buying and do not know how to fix. i saw a 90s corvette last night and started saying **** like, "that's less than half a floor monke."

  • supcat Supcat @ Laperopter Corporation (@supcat) reported

    @Hooneriphic @tallpaul412 @L_Chupacabra Biggest thing to figure out is what your size is so you're narrowing down by that. Then, having someone to send all those craigslist ads to to ask if it's worth it or not (I can provide this service, I have many times before)

  • metaltxt metal.txt (@metaltxt) reported

    i gotta write down the story of the time my girlfriend at the time and I went out to deeeeeep east county san diego to look at craigslist furniture and it was at some kind of cult compound with lots of weird shaped houses like a clock tower and a ufo

  • paul_t_miller end racism, phd (@paul_t_miller) reported

    @BeckyGMartinez feel like i got lucky with the washer the way i figure, it's broken. i can't break it more so give fixing it a go. if it doesn't work, craigslist.
