I dreamed that Craigslist added a bunch of new flashy features and woke up in a cold sweat.

@other_ghosts it's true. it makes it obvious how much I've changed. there were years where i used craigslist to transport myself or other across states or the country, find jobs, find rooms in houses, find all furniture etc. - like it was the conduit of my whole existence for years on end

@seachanger I still use it for some of that. But really, the only enshittification of CL has to do with it slowly losing its pool of non-scammy users, as other, far shittier platforms elbow in on its territory. As a result, certain things just aren't as well represented there as they were.

@seachanger Precarity as a platform? Security as its enshittification? No, I don't think that necessarily makes you part of the problem.
