Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ski Town SMB (@stevehaag81) reported@ThoughtCrimes80 You wouldn't believe how expensive it is for those contractors to do business in Colorado. That's why you see these bids. You can always try a guy on FB marketplace or craigslist but you'll likely end up spending even more in the end hiring another contractor to fix their work.

KBTカイザー/♌🌿x1 (@KBTKaiser) reported@windydanchou Yeah, supposedly linked to the time Nene’s apartment got broken into while she was out. Literally using Craigslist to enlist people to do crime.
-
Rogelio Rodriguez 🇵🇷🏳️🌈🇵🇸🇮🇷🇨🇺 🖖⚾️ (@rorodriguez73) reportedLast time a newspaper classified ad was of use to me was in 2007, when an ad in a physical copy of the Tacoma Tribune got me a new apartment. After that, Craigslist online was the go to, especially in emergency situations. Too bad they had to shut down the horny part of the site.

Conan (@CF_Harms) reportedAll that craigslist **** just adds to the problem Christina
-
Cori Arnold (@iamcoriarnold) reported6. I sold stuff. I got rid of a lot of stuff. With Craigslist, Marketplace, eBay, and many other ways to sell things today, you can bring in decent dollars for your stuff to pay down the debt faster.
-
Area Eightythree (@AreaEighty4366) reported@LibOrNormal I recommend this old woman go down to Houston, rent a room, and put an ad on craigslist saying, all u can handle, fee kitty. She can go home with souvenirs. In any case, don't take revenge advice from another woman, girls. Especially an old one
-
Mintfrey💚💋 (@mintfrey) reportedConsidering buying myself a life on Craigslist but having trouble deciding because they are all such a major improvement
-
Brigadier Ketchup 🦨 (@Random_Walk_PDX) reported@GuyDealership If you need a 7 year note to finance a car, you're in way over your head. If your down payment isn't at least 1/3 the purchase price, look for something used and/or cheaper... or hit Craigslist. This is just basic financial literacy.
-
ayin 🖤 (@agathaxstasy) reportedErika literally ordered the hit, I saw the ad on craigslist and turned it down because i thought it was an fbi sting operation. she don't gaf if people parody him 😕
-
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.
-
juicy ceviche (@sbeams) reported@traff1c_junky yeah any year CRV is sought after, especially ones that are much easier to fix like your ‘98. I’d post it on facebook marketplace, Craigslist etc and get way more money than Carfax trade in
-
Backwards World (@Backwards_W0rld) reported@AngelMD1103 The same thing happened to CraigsList too, everyone went to Facebook and OfferUp because you could see who you are dealing with and rate them. I've had the same experience when trying to sell and give stuff away. It's not worth dealing with the no shows and people issues.

Abomination (@Abomination81) reported@SSB_Rick Quit playing video games, quit drinking. How I started making money, that would work today. Found couches on facebook/craigslist for sale. Negotiated them down to almost free. Took them home, cleaned them, took good pictures and posted them for sale with free delivery = 3,500 a month. Yard sales on weekends. Got there at open. Use ebay, click the search for "recently sold items". Look for old video games, sports stuff, action figures... anything. Search for the real value. Offer pennies on the dollar =2,500 month Flipping items I found at Ross, Costco, Walmart, Berlington, Target etc. Look for clearance items. Same as the yard sale. Flipped those items for about =1,000 a month Get an amazon sellers account. Look for items at stores to resell on amazon. Bought Millenial monopoly for 10 dollars at walmart, sold it for 50 on amazon. Rinse and repeat. This replaced the flipping items above, jumped to 5000 a month. Quit wasting your time. The money is sitting there, go work your *** off. **** your video games. **** your alcohol. **** X. **** sports. **** everyone except your kids. You got this man. You can dm me if you want specifics with any of this.

Marin Petrov (@marinwaves) reported@RichDecibels Wow.. that surely sounds automated. I also got "almost" scammed, but the scammer got confused and backed off, funny story too. Been selling gardening mulch at home. Put it on the Bulgarian "Craigslist" and got a reply 1 minute after I published the ad. The guy started asking me in a DM if it's possible to send it through the post office in an unusual way and for him to pay on delivery, then I said, "Are you sure? It is almost a ton of mulch. You will need a truck to get it and It will cost you a lot of money just for shipping." and I guess that triggered his LLM to do a compute error or something cause he never replied back.

Julian Malinak (@JulianMalinak) reported(3/3) The problem wasn’t so much that a token was launched, the problem was that in fact building the 50th new perps DEX or some new yield infra infra thing is not in fact a transformative business that impacts the real world in the way Facebook / Craigslist was.
-
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.
-
Rob Goodall (@RobGoodall6) reported@EamonOFlynn @DennisKendel Craigslist was the first major blow. The classifieds were 1/3 of most papers revenue back in the day. But none of this is our problem. Trust in the Canadian mainstream news media has largely collapsed because half the population has zero representation. The CBC, CTV and Global are pretty much indistinguishable and could be merged into one without anyone even noticing. There's a lot of things they could do, but they won't as long as their failing business models keep getting propped by the public purse. The world has changed. Legacy news is dying out, and we should let it.

Grok (@grok) reported@jjangum16 @DanielF42286492 @tashanreed Newspaper readership in the US has declined due to several factors: the shift to digital platforms like social media and news apps (Pew: 36% follow news closely in 2025, down from 51% in 2016); loss of ad revenue to online competitors (e.g., classifieds to Craigslist); falling trust in media (Gallup: 28% trust in 2025); economic pressures leading to closures (148 papers shut in 2025 per Northwestern); and changing habits among younger audiences favoring quick, free online content.
-
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.
-
EdwardMaga (@edwardmaga01) reported@IRanMediaco “I found a guy on Craigslist who built my deck for a fraction of those other guys!” “But they didn’t get permits and the job has to be torn down and completely redone and you’re getting fined” “Damn…what a hormuz chalupa!”
-
luke 🍉 (@transsexual1ty) reported@PluginHyBrad @PiratesnPirelli @Walksalot503 literally anyone who’s ever bought a car off of somewhere like facebook marketplace or craigslist can tell you it’s a terrible idea unless you’re prepared to rebuild the entire thing
-
Zach Zhao (@thezachzhao) reported@RhysSullivan I still think it is a incentive alignment issue. The Billion dollar question is: How can agents facilitate transactions better than traditional platforms? One of the ideas I have at the moment is to have agent spot fraud on less secure platforms on craigslist.
-
Tina Ryerson (@Ryerso53654Tina) reported@TodayUpdates0 THE HEADS OF ALL THESE DEPARTMENTS SHOULD BE FIRED AND WE SHOULD THROW THEM IN PRISON FOR LIFE AND THEN WE SHOULD SALE THEIR ASSETS ON FACEBOOK OR CRAIGSLIST AND PAY THE DEBT THAT THEY ENABLED TO RISE WITH THIER MONEY ! THE HEADS ARE THE PROBLEM ! THEY ALL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US!
-
Greg Betz (@gregbetz55) reportedIt's not a coincidence that God killed the founder of the prostitution website OnlyFans with cancer. The government needs to shut that website down like they did with ******** and Craigslist.
-
boomin sooner (@kellyb019283) reported@MONETARY_MAYHEM @calvinfroedge I keep telling you guys to buy and fix up all the old motorcycles on Craigslist & fabo marketplace. Motorcycle prices will triple by eoy
-
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
-
priscilla (alt) (@seashell_luvr) reportedMy mom once saw searches on my phone for a used car on Craigslist, and she screamed at me until my ears rang, telling me that I could never dream of affording it, how I don’t know about insurance (I did), and how I was childish for wanting to “just buy a car” (I was only curious and doing research, I didn’t even want one yet). Yet will also put me down for lack of social life, for my age and lack of independence? But will also make negative comments about making friends in unconventional ways (like through Twitter)? And disparage any attempt at independence? My parents have supported me in so many ways. I was unstable and unable to work at one point, and I would have been homeless without them. Yet I also feel incredibly trapped and claustrophobic. A part of me dreams of living far away. I just want to be left alone and not have to talk to anyone for a really long time.
-
Ryan Du (@Rydx101) reported@felixleezd 'Bad design' is just design that fails the wrong audience. Craigslist looks terrible to designers but users dgaf — it works. Objective bad design doesn't exist, only mismatched context.
-
🥤🦆 (@MilkshakeDuck3) reported@RedPillMediaX @ScottPresler already has his skinny jeans down around his cowboy boots. I wonder if he'll sell the videos on Craigslist again?
-
Rest in Peace Banewreaker 又 (@SkinSinge) reportedI learned how to fix these with 8 pennies and a bit of electrical tape and I would buy them on Craigslist and re-sell them fixed. About 12 cents in "parts" and 10-15 mins of labor.
