As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

I would host an instance if it's working well enough - has anyone done it yet?

I am super curious how does it stack against DAC7 European Directive 2021/514 from 22 march 2021.

The European law says that such sites must provide a list of users and sales

In my local area government interrogates selling boards about my data what I sell and such. I wonder if this could be forever resistant to authorities provided somebody actually uses it?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

as always with these, it really comes down to whos using it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Will keep an eye on this, but there is nothing too local here (No, I can't host something myself). Given how the specification says there should be a location and radius per instance, some admins are really slacking on putting that info in the description.

God... remember how fucking simple craigslist was when it hit it's peak? The fact that Grandpa could take a shaky flip phone picture and post a thing you needed right around the corner, no fat or other frivolous horseshit...

Craigslist is still simple last I checked, but the user base left and now dominated by spam from retail and drop shippers masquerading as local people selling goods from their garage.

Nothing gold can stay

At least when I used Craigslist, there was no social network element to it, so it was difficult to determine the trustworthiness of any given poster.

For that reason, I don't want a Fediverse clone of Craigslist -- I want an existing Fediverse platform to add a marketplace. I will not use anonymous marketplaces.

You can use gpg signatures

"I will not use anonymous marketplaces."

"I won't take cash, either" vibes

If you feel any kind of meaningful trustworthiness from a Facebook profile, you've probably got some other things to worry about...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't agree? Even in big cities, I've often seen marketplace posts from people with mutual friends, so I could easily verify their trustworthiness. In other scenarios I can at least check to see if their posting history and/or profile seems legit or if there are any red flags. Having more data helps people decide whether to trust someone, but Craigslist doesn't allow for that.

Idk. It's still got some uses. My dad got a bunch of industrial refrigerator panels for stupid cheap off Craigslist like 6 months ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, you can still get something from the odd crank, but used to be much more practically useful for day to day needs.
