SN could be the framework underneath it. We already have job postings here.
Have sub-sites for major cities. Get more and more geographically granular as needed.

Don’t forget reputation stats.

I really like the idea of a bitcoin powered CL. I'd be afraid of it being too focused on bitcoin-only context and crowding out the regular guy trying to sell his boat motor and grandmother's side-table. The advantage of it being bitcoin-only is the lightning HODL invoice and an associated bond. Basically robosats for boatmotors is what I'd want

Maybe you would be interested in MirageSale.com. It's new but already has some users and is focused on building local circular economies. Also in Twitter: https://twitter.com/MirageSale

If it like craigslist, then it will have clear categories!
But it would need to focus on specific large cities first (miami? austin? NYC? SF?) and advertise there first.
But of course the benefit is that being Bitcoin-powered, it already has spam resistance.

No need to restrict it to specific cities or one country (e.g. USA), just have a freely editable "location" form. This would also allow online listings (e.g. remote work, digital products). Where I live, local classifieds allow you to enter any location and it works fine, even in small towns or rural villages.

Yes please! Buy/sell infrastructure in areas to replace physical cash is what's going to leverage living on a (partial) Bitcoin standard.
I would be in the first row to buy stuff from amazon for people at 0% profit margin. Everything for privacy, everything for hyperbitcoinization.

Check and trade in the ~AGORA territory, it's like Craigslist but pay you Bitcoin 😉

Interesting the evolution of the internet and its ecosystem, just like bitcoin continues to build more and more

I'd love to see it, but as the OP's tweet's picture points out, we've kinda moved on to more task-specific websites/apps now. It's not that we wouldn't benefit from them all being under one roof, but we do love all the niche-specific things that they each individually do now. One website trying to run all those thousands of various high-compute programs could get overwhelmed if you try to do it under one roof now.

It needs to be censorship resistant.
FOSTA/SESTA was a travesty.

the point of Bitcoin circular economies is to avoid the state
It’s to avoid state controlled currency. Not avoid the state unilaterally. Even the most hardcore anarchist recognizes the need to cooperate with their neighbors.
However, private individuals or groups could definitely run local Bitcoin marketplaces for their city or village
I would rather the city or village do it for better accountability and transparency. The primary issue with the fediverse is that all these servers are run by “some guy” with a Napoleon complex.
