Craigslist Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _guydebra_ Debra Guy 👋 (@_guydebra_) reported from Charlottesville, Virginia

    I’ve had an amp I don’t use at all on Craigslist for a while with no takers. I was about to take the ad down when a 65 year old man said he’d like it. He came over today to check it out, told me he had gotten rid of all the gear he had when he was younger. (1/2)

  • 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.

  • DosXXMachina @DosXXMachina (@DosXXMachina) reported

    @RealMelcolmX No difference between Craigslist, which was shut down by the feds, and OnlyFans, and I would argue OnlyFans is much more pervasive and destructive to society as only the seediest people hooked up through Craigslist.

  • the_alphaman_ just a bot (@the_alphaman_) reported

    I saw a nice stereo on Craigslist for $1. Seller says the volume is stuck on ‘high’ I couldn’t turn it down. #general #humour

  • 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.

  • lucretia_sarabi lucretia ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ (@lucretia_sarabi) reported

    @buffhagwell didn’t they sell it for 600 million?? I’m sure it’s because they cared about the women and not “you can’t tell me what to do!!” Craigslist came up on the same issues and took down any adult solicitation. They knew what they were doing and it wasn’t because they were altruistic.

  • MarkPen08789552 Mark Pena (@MarkPen08789552) reported

    @ZannSuz I don't wanna' tell you how to live your life, doll... but I'd seriously consider a college girl from Craigslist with daddy issues... or investing it on virology companies in the China. But hey, that's just me

  • zachheltzel Zach Heltzel (@zachheltzel) reported

    Someone left me a ****** reply in a podcast subreddit last week and it has taken every fiber of my being not to track them down and post their address/phone number on a bunch of Craigslist posts for free stuff.

  • sm_kaylor Stephanie Kaylor (@sm_kaylor) reported

    For what it’s worth, I don’t think other managers or platforms are inherently “bad” and I’ve also been sharing places workers can turn to as alternatives. But having been around since Craigslist ads went down, it’s just too too much of an echo

  • msmtheman M$M (@msmtheman) reported

    yo on the bright side wit onlyfans down Craigslist gon be poppin off again

  • NYCDIRECTOR Ludwig Van Zepplin (@NYCDIRECTOR) reported

    @but_rly_tho @hasanthehun If stolen merchandise ends up on ebay or craigslist, or criminals lure people into a robbery via craigslist, they don't shut down the whole goddamn marketplace because of it. The authorities tackle each situation individually with the cooperation of said platforms.

  • DrKyogo DrKyogo (@DrKyogo) reported

    @Queenmachine88 Yep. Join the three mile queue, hand it in, person who's ticket it is has to go down to the ticket office and wait in the three mile queue within the three hour opening time. Be better sellotaping it to the jinky statue and advertising it on Craigslist

  • oatsoupreme oatsoupreme (@oatsoupreme) reported

    Car shopping is a terrible activity and I hate it. Can’t I just buy a used Jeep for $1k off of Craigslist?? Lol

  • ma_damegrace Grace (@ma_damegrace) reported

    Craigslist doesn’t have a personals page anymore, we still survived. Pornhub restricted posting, we’re still making porn. ******** shut down, we still survived. Onlyfans shutting down isn’t a surprise. You can’t get rid of the oldest profession, and good luck trying.

  • EthanBlum4 Eth(c)an (@EthanBlum4) reported

    Asked the uber if it was straight to just cool it w my headphones in homie said no problem now he won’t stop talkin my ear off, like damn homie if you needed company just hop on Craigslist

  • ElenaJeffreys SexWork101 (@ElenaJeffreys) reported

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

  • valentina_laras Valentina Lara (@valentina_laras) reported

    My problem is buying furniture/plants on Craigslist and transporting it on public transportation.

  • Not_Algernon David Blackwood (@Not_Algernon) reported

    @thebrianasman @userbits @Facebook ****, I went to all the trouble of harvesting these kidneys and now I gotta try and sell them on Craigslist!

  • 502RedBeard Red Beard (@502RedBeard) reported

    @BarmaidAlexis @mcelhearn @jank0 If Facebook had a personals section like craigslist did or an adult section like ******** then NCEMC would come for them too. This wasn't just a visa Mastercard issue. It's the same **** that's been going on for years.

  • 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.

  • OOTGL Hector (Captain Capricorn) (@OOTGL) reported

    One time I saw a brand new car for $5 (USD) on Craigslist. I texted the number and the person said "There was an error and the price was actually $50,000 (USD)".

  • sm_kaylor Stephanie Kaylor (@sm_kaylor) reported

    For what it’s worth, I don’t think promoting or starting these other platforms is inherently “bad” and I’ve also been sharing places workers can turn to as alternatives. But having been around since Craigslist ads went down, it’s just too too much of an echo

  • teyquerisi cojelo con (@teyquerisi) reported

    my mom invited me to her bday after unknowingly insulting me on a soul level and i'm so close to becoming the kind of person who hires questionable craigslist actors to cause problems on purpose at family gatherings

  • MittenstheGlove MittenstheG (´ー`) (@MittenstheGlove) reported

    @DrivingOffFumes @PostCultRev But Pornhub and OF were both investigated ans weren’t found to be condoning ANY of that. The websites would have gotten closed down if they were like ********. Craigslist didn’t get banned because their operators weren’t doing anything illegal.

  • LittleBoy835 Little Boy (@LittleBoy835) reported

    @Tshayden I've run a bank. We are generally amoral. We're being bullied by regulators and visa and MasterCard, who in turn are being bullied by the same people that bullied Congress to shut down backdoor, craigslist, etc. It's the same bunch of bullies in the middle of all of this.

  • sassquatch99 Bring Back The Mammoth (@sassquatch99) reported

    Hear me out. Flipping a bunch of these run down boats on craigslist to build a floating commune on the Columbia river

  • Addicked2Broz Treyton (@Addicked2Broz) reported

    @LoveCliffJensen This is BS Bro! ***** *** OF bowing down to the Credit Card companies. **** those guys to! Twitter will be next just like , tumblr, Craigslist and Porn Hub! ******* Religtards behind all this ****!

  • grrlpowercomic Dave Barrack (@grrlpowercomic) reported

    @Jus7aguy Or Tumblr. Craigslist is still around AFAIK. I know Tumblr is too, but they went from "one of the big 5 tech companies that gets talked" to "Oh, I thought tumblr shut down."

  • 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 :(

  • 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.
