Craigslist Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@TaxiCrabb @WallStreetApes It was eBay *employees* (specifically 7 from the Global Security team, including director Jim Baugh) who directly carried out the harassment—sending the spiders, pig mask, wreath, etc., and posting the Craigslist ads. This stemmed from pressure/frustration by senior *executives*, including then-CEO Devin Wenig's text: "If you are ever going to take her down... now is the time" about Ina Steiner's coverage. Wenig resigned but wasn't criminally charged (denies knowledge of the tactics). The civil suit targeted both eBay and ex-execs; it settled this week (terms undisclosed).

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.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.

lala ✨ (@LakeShowLala) reportedWhen I was 19 I moved to California with someone off Craigslist because the @lakers were down 0-3 to Dallas in the western conference finals and I was certain if I touched LA ground they would come back. (They didn’t)

Rapture Ready (@txspitfire) reported@Milajoy Craigslist needs to be SHUT DOWN!!

Sherman (@ShermanSogabe) reportedPossible solution to crony capitalism? OmniNet: the browser dapp that outruns every ban. •Point your cursor. Click ‘Mirror’. Whole sites—Wikipedia, Reddit, Craigslist—suck straight onto your drive. •Site crashes? Doesn’t matter. Yours is live. Ours is live. Everyone’s live. •Access? One crypto tip, auto-split: creator, hosts, seeders. No login. No boss. •Paywalls? Laughable. Build OmniFans next door—exact copy, zero cuts. Models keep every coin, run their own show. They decide distribution rights, not the website. •Tamper-proof. Open-source. No centre, no kill-switch. •Governments block? We fork. They bomb? We bounce. •One zip. One click. Total freedom. #SolutionToEverything

TheEndOfDays (@TheEndOfDays13) reported@GeorgeDienhart @aleksbrz11 @ritapac2 USA has a 100 million people age 18-65 that are not working and not looking for work...except when needed for paid protesting on your local craigslist under "gigs"

Diangelo (@Christo35983221) reported@nypost is someone trying to shut down Facebook marketplace or something? Maybe Ebay or 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!”

Possum Patriot🌸🍳 (@PossumPatriot) reported@sarahlol1863603 @Howlingmutant0 This reminds me there used to be these craigslist ads in an area I used to live of some old geezer looking for someone to "come find me in my house already lubed up presenting my ***" etc etc. Then they took down craigslist personals.

Josh (@Digitalformedx) reported@LibOrNormal Well he needs to expand his skills and get a side job. All of us had to work weekends even if it was mowing a lawn, putting in a fence or fixing a car for extra cash to pay the bills. Plus not to mention selling anything we didn't want on craigslist if we had an extra bill to catch up on. Now for some who don't know, the bar is the best place to find some side work. If you have some side skills. People are always looking for a hand to build something, fix something or even do yard work.
