  @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

  @yoxics I got in trouble for asking for a male roommate on craigslist, that's how serious they take discrimination laws.

  if you really study zuck you’d realise that zuck’s superpower was never seeing the future. it was reacting to the present faster than anyone else. stories from snapchat, reels from tiktok, marketplace from craigslist, ai from openai. every single win was a fast copy executed at a scale nobody could match. the metaverse was the first time he tried to lead instead of follow. $80 billion later he’s shutting it down & going back to doing what he’s always done - chasing whoever’s winning right now. which at the moment is ai.

  DAY 8 of coding to make my parents think I have a real job 🚀 target - become a full-stack developer 💸 earned - $0 (the Craigslist pizza guy is asking for updates) told the pizza client the site is "in final QA testing" QA testing means I clicked the button once and it worked so I stopped sent him a screenshot of my localhost:8080 he asked what localhost means I told him it's a private developer preview link he said "wow professional" I am a fraud 2 hours of pretending to know what PHP sessions are 1 hour of actual learning what PHP sessions are I now know what PHP sessions are I immediately used them wrong and broke the login page ChatGPT fixed it ChatGPT is my real senior developer. I am just the one who copies and pastes. status: QA tested. localhost. deeply fraudulent. further less 💪

  @donjackoghue What makes sniffies work is there is no boundary whatsoever in the level of depravity allowed. I cannot see that not changing with new investors. And then we will all quit using it. There was this awkward period with nothing like sniffies. Craigslist closed down. It took years.

  @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.

  @DeivonDrago I've legit considered putting up craigslist ads for ghostbuster services. I show up to the "haunted" house and just explain ghosts ain't real and demand my hard-earned pay. Then I realised this is a funny metaphor for dispelling the mystery of the Hard Problem.

  @chelseavelvet Craigslist is terrible. eBay is where the humor is.

  @AbhiCodes15 actually building it right now — an app to find and give away free stuff in your city. started because Craigslist free section is a disaster and Facebook Marketplace has too much friction. sometimes the simplest problems make the best SaaS

  When 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)

  It 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

  Who 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!

  @GrahamAllen How difficult will it be to track down the people that are selling the merchandise? Facebook, Craigslist, flea markets. Well it is not a law enforcement priority.

  Selling a car today still sucks. Craigslist → spam Facebook Marketplace → chaos Dealers → lowball offers You’re always trading off: trust, price, or convenience We’re building @ZoooomApp to fix this: • VIN-based listings (no manual input) • Verified buyers & sellers • Pricing transparency • Title checks What’s the most frustrating part of selling your car?
