I wouldn't call Craigslist "thriving", it's still alive but it seems like Facebook Marketplace took over a lot of what it did.

I think Facebook Marketplace is thriving but mainly because it inserts itself into people's other behavior, maybe not because people think it's the best platform for exchanging goods. In fact, it could really use some of the moderation features of Craigslist.
After much creative destruction, we're back to inserting classified ads next to the stuff people are reading to pass the time.
