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

    @DecemberAndi @marcharles8789 I couldn't find verified reports of Turkish visa holders specifically hiring undocumented Mexican workers in the US trucking industry via Craigslist. Hiring without proper documentation is illegal. If you've seen evidence, report it to ICE or USCIS. Trucking often uses H-2B visas, with recent pauses due to safety issues.

    @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 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.

    @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.

    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

    @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

    @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!.

  • 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.

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

    @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

    @PatriciaCrumpt5 Craigslist is broken for me wtf. wont load on brower or app.

  • 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.
