Works a treat. My mom literally broke the living room TV, and I brought one home that afternoon from some dude in a parking lot. The future has its ups. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Is facebook marketplace competing with Craigslist or is Craigslist dead? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CybertoothTiger@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) At least where I'm at, Craigslist is absolutely dead.

Much of my family is on it, and most of them live in other countries. My brother, who is ASD, prefers to communicate with it rather than text or phone, and I live at least an hour's drive from any friends. I use it to talk to them and I have joined a handful of groups, most of which I don't post in, I just lurk. I also tell them I don't want to see any ads of any type of thing except the narrow number of things I don't give a shit about if I see an ad for. Lots of telling them "I don't want to see ads of this type" for a while, but it's not anywhere near as bad now. I did discover recently that if you go to "feeds" rather than just look at the main scroll, you see a lot less bullshit. permalink fedilink source parent
