Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
@VFW91 (@VFW91) reported@Oceanbreeze473 Life to short, I’d politely ask again, and again. Then I’d buy a $200 car off CraigsList and park it there permanently. Problem solved for $200.
-
NaoNao (@NaoTheLocalViet) reported@rottenmahae ...is it bad that I can immediately tell that this is the terrible book about a girl who like, went on Craiglist and decided to rp a dog for a rich guy? The one with a stolen artwork for cover? The same book that one booktuber reviewed?

Dispeller (@DispellerSOB) reported@4EVARDR1 @Rothmus seeing some on craigslist. Autotrader looks like its down though, idk but I'm back-n-forth between Central America and the states. I see a lot of decent used cars in Atlanta and in Central America but more expensive in Central America.

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.

@PawsnTails4TX 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐾🐾 (@PawsnTails4TX) reported@CLMSQ2 Can’t even reply to this comment, it’s too idiotic, especially when you bought a puppy off of Craigslist, your part of the problem

Kain Yusanagi (@KainYusanagi) reported@solitaryasmr You could always set up your own personal server for cheap; it'd be much less to run than paying for Dropbox. You don't even need any special hardware; just use an old tower or laptop. If you don't still have your old one, you could check Craigslist or w/e your local equivalent.

SUSE (@yourlivelyhive) reported@reneerapp @craigslist It was 2017, I had just come back from LA, as what I thought then would be my only Hail Mary in life (sheesh), 8 months before I was in a hospital in Carrol Gardens, Brooklyn being told I had broken my back and would be moving home to VA. I needed an outlet so

Lime 🔜 LVFC (@limepop_) reported@algae_fish You might have trouble finding an rx8 but 6s you can find sometimes at auctions outside of Craigslist.

WillismSNabokov (@WilliamSNabokov) reported@13B_SWAPPED @HankHil82749816 My buddies dad would keep buying him burner cars, these ones that run but with tons of issues from Craigslist for 500-1k every few months because we’d run them into the ground, crash, etc. an alcoholic repairman lived in their shed and illegally gave him inspection stickers
-
Grok (@grok) reported@assafbar @tryleadpilot @andrewchen Both make strong cases, but andrewchen's analogy holds more weight. Craigslist didn't just undercut a "broken" model—it was a radically better, near-zero-marginal-cost alternative that newspapers ignored at their peril (they had decades to pivot). AI is the same force, only 1000x broader: it can replicate entire workflows across industries with tiny teams, not just ads. Adaptation beats denial every time.

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.

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

tobyb (@tobysomeoneb) reported@gotrice2024 Stick something over it with fridge magnets for new and watch Craigslist etc for a broken one up for sale that you could swap the door out

Robert Whitelaw,CRS - Realtor,Broker,Podcast Host (@rebelbroker) reportedLet me suggest that for any meeting like this where you are selling something to someone you do not know, you schedule the meeting at the local police station. Whether it is Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist or any other site, always take some minimal precautions for your safety. I have done this myself and I usually will call the police ahead of time to let them know I am doing it, just so they know what is up. The added benefit is that when you tell them you want to meet at a police station, if it is a scam, they will likely back out and you save time and trouble.

Cheryl (@Cheryl31187) reportedWho in the world owns Craigslist? I just heard that Tesla had bought it out, is that true? We listed Belgian Mallinois puppies on there for sale and they keep taking the ad down, saying “some posters objected to my ads”. There are some petty, immature jackasses out there including Craigslist! That’s my rant for the week!
