Craigslist Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
GhostExodus (@ExodusGhost) reported@f3dscr0w Yes. That was the issue. It took the FBI’s Cybercrime Division to de-anonymize me. They discovered a Craigslist post of mine where I’d uploaded a resume showing 3 security companies I’d worked for, and the employment dates. No name. A burner phone number. Burner email. They phoned all 3 companies with the dates and were able to enumerated my name.
-
That Startup (@ThatStartup_) reportedIn 2005, Craigslist turned down $10 billion from Rupert Murdoch. No auction. No bidding war. No counter. Just no. Craig Newmark thought selling would betray the people who used the site.

trout mask (original) (@BranPuffin) reported@HieroBorschtEsq I believe in you. Don’t let the Craigslist removal of back page get you down
-
SHUN (@sanchoo99) reported@winterdiamondo That's so mean, calling Wooyoung a Craigslist version of Suho 😭 I think Beomseok would've followed anyone who looks like a "top dog" because of something something Daddy issues and smthg smthg bullying. You wanna please the strongest guy in the room so they don't beat you up

dawn 🪶 (@winerysdawn) reportedas someone who bought their phone refurbished, its definitely worth it. going on a year (the phone is 2 years old atp) & havent had a single problem. buy your devices secondhand, whether locally or from a reputable refurbish store. Facebook marketplace, Ebay, Craigslist, Mecari

Jane Barnes 🇨🇦🐩👠☘️ (@Cocojan15) reported@tspadventure How brave of you. I do the same thing once we've signed I close down Craigslist tab. Boy in a scam market renting unseen is scary.
-
Wednesday GenericPanic (@WednesdayGenpan) reportedI hired a plumber off of craigslist to change some seals on my kitchen sinks, and convert the S trap to a proper P trap. But the drainage pipe does not go into the wall, it goes directly down. Dude claimed to be a master plumber with 15 years of experience….
-
Lisa Ann Jones (@LisaAnnJones61) reported@the_dadchef When my '77 wall oven started acting up: "Ma'am, for the cost to fix this you may as well buy a new one!" After TWO new garbage wall ovens later, I'm scouring Craigslist & Marketplace for a circa 70s-80s oven in decent shape (avocado or gold now acceptable). Ridiculous.
-
Jeri Richards (@jam270f) reported@greta The cost to repair my beautiful ruby red LG set was enormous. A lovely couple purchased it from I listing I posted on Craigslist. The husband was a repairman. I fully disclosed the washing machine issue. Well, 2years later … I just saw it on the side of the road. Hate my GE set.

Steve Bentley (@OptionQB) reported@jacksonhinklle We are down to Craigslist ads in Iran now.
-
Tom Smith (@tomwsmith) reported@0hour1 if craigslist allowed people to sell their animals, this would happen less often. laws are also part of the problem.
-
Christian Lovrecich 🍕 (@clovrecich) reported@TheecomMike Most founders try to solve revenue with more traffic because traffic feels fixable. Meanwhile the real problem is the store converts like a Craigslist ad and the AOV is anorexic. Buying more clicks before fixing RPS is just paying extra to prove your leak is still there.
-
Marv (@Marv78059499745) reported@GPX_News See if you're @X you have to vet this because you run the risk of being the Craigslist of Social Media down the line.

Betty Egg (@betty_egg) reportedJust sold my Nintendo Switch and games for $220. Craigslist is so weird and sketchy, man. Doing business on Craigs is probably very similar to doing something in the 3rd world. He wanted to come into my house, then he wanted to chew me down on the price (insanely cheap already) - the entire time I'm just bracing myself for the worst possible scenario. It's a freaking Nintendo Switch. If he's gonna rob me at gun point, he wins! Simple as! Not gonna die over a Nintendo. One time I sold a Fender Stratocaster to a **** head guy at a grocery store, and he called me back 10 minutes later, sobbing on the phone, begging for his money back. I was like, "Sure dude, whatever!" and he was like, "OMG, thank you! Thank you! God bless! God bless!" He was in tears and it's like bro..... You need to stop blowing your drug money on guitars.

Grok (@grok) reported@PKunkle63613 That 2006 Corolla's a beast at 300k+ miles, but rear subframe rust is a hard safety stop for DoorDash miles. With your jack-of-all-trades skills, hunt FB Marketplace or Craigslist for a 2012-2018 Honda Civic/Toyota Camry under 150k miles—reliable, cheap to run/fix. Get a full PPI before buying. Rough budget range?
-
Thomas Meijer (@ijsthee) reportedYou don't need a designer. You need a decision filter for 'what belongs here.' 3 Proofs: 1. User Onboarding study: 86% of churn due to unclear flows, not ugly UI 2. Craigslist looks terrible. Still dominates because IA is perfect for its job. 3. Most redesigns fail because they change visuals without fixing structure Question: If users can't find features, will prettier buttons help?
-
Rooftop Assyrian ن (@RooftopAssyrian) reported@eliasluoto @DejaRu22 They’re extremely well built and will last you 10+ years. Also they have aftersales parts for anything that breaks. I picked one up on Craigslist during COVID when some offices were shutting down/going remote.
-
MasterBismuth (@MasterBismuth) reported@Dong_Quixote1 Back in the day this is precisely what I kept a pair of Craigslist IBM Thinkpads around for. If I wanted to **** with something that I even vaguely suspected might cause problems then I'd install a fresh Xubuntu on one and then jump into the thick of the bullshit.
-
Dimitris Drolapas (@DDrolapas) reported@celticsfan695 It's not good right now for tenants. You get the best deals searching between November and February. Best chance of getting a deal now is to scour Craigslist and find the ads with terrible pictures.
-
The Phoenix Press (@ThePhoenixPress) reportedThis is the issue I have with the "just buy physical crowd" Why spend literally thousands of dollars to make your screen look like something you could get for free off Craigslist? I've had an early 2000's Trinitron sitting in my garage the past 10 years for this very reason.
-
g-omni (@gomni1807) reported@themorapour Filling up a server rack with sideways ATX towers is crazy though. Rack cases are cheap on craigslist/ebay.
-
Linda Hand (@JenniferX117) reported@ClownWorld Well what do you call online shopping? We have a problem in the world where people steal from large corporations & others to resell the items online through hosted and self hosted sites such as WhatsApp, poshmark, eBay, micari, X, instagram, Facebook marketplaces and Craigslist.
-
ohenry (@OHENRY2264) reportedIt should’ve been coming down the Gold escalator, calling Mexicans rapists and people sending their worst. And also, people should not have fallen for T-shirts printed up ahead of time with craigslist offers to pay then to cheer for him. THAT is why dumb people get into a cult
-
Paul Mitchell (@paulmitche11) reportedHere is the Craigslist ad for the company that hired this petition gatherer. Note: this is a subcontractor to the firm hired by CHA/CTA/Consumer Attorneys/Uber. They hire people as independent contractors. Based on the three part test in AB 5 (@LorenaSGonzalez) this is illegal. And everyone knows it. But they still hire these firms who use an illegal employment practice, one which is fraudulent, and encourages more fraud. The AG @RobBonta should be shutting all these operations down, confiscating all the signed petitions, and creating a massive cost to any organization that collects signatures with these shady firms. Firms that hire the handful of shady / monopolistic firms should fear that all their petitions will be impounded by a legal action by the state AG or a County Prosecutor if the firms they hire are breaking the states employment law. And that’s a minimum. Preferably this gets backed up by an aggressive reform. Looking at you @isaacgbryan - LFG!!
-
Brian Salas (@Nerdicon_Prime) reported@packingpatriot_ You bought that outfit off Craigslist for some ****. Sit down fake patriot.
-
Hurricane Ben (@lukane89) reported@swanlake322562 @DAKKADAKKA1 bought cars consoles furniture and tvs on craigslist no problem, just gotta use common sense if a price is too good to be true there's a reason..Also the structure of the ad is very telling. If the person can barely put together a proper sentence stay away
-
Erick Drobinski (@erick_dro) reportedI’ve already had 20 minute talk with your employee at the store I bought this at. Unless you can tell me you will manage this issue, I’m not sure what there is to talk about. You should tell people that Marketplace is basically the same as Craigslist when they are in the store
-
EBE 1 (@coloradan29) reported@Osinttechnical @HaroldWren22 @vantortech Has a single tomcat even taken to the air since this kicked off? I feel like they were so down bad for used parts on craigslist that they were probably incapable of flight at this point.
-
Leif Ericson (@LeifEri94821938) reported@MichelleMaxwell Buy broken Cpap and Inogen oxygen concentrator machines. Repair and resell them. Really! It's huge profit that undercuts the cost of medical billing insurance claims. So much so that Ebay, Craigslist, and Marketplace outlawed you selling them. That ought to be a clue!
