Yeah. When I read things like US schools expecting parents to have Facebook, I am like "WHAT?!". Facebook isn't required for much at all in Germany. I don't use it, I'm fine. Focused services such as Meetup.com, Doodle, (WhatsApp), Signal, eBay Kleinanzeigen (classifieds), Google Maps... cover the things that I hear people using Facebook for.
- herbst 5y agoSame here in Switzerland. The landscape is totally split up between many small and big companies doing their thing. They also come and go, I never witnessed a deep fixation as HN makes me think the US haves for Facebook. I can easily say I don't use Facebook and still be connected, don't use eBay and still sell used things, refuse to use Google and still receive emails and be able to find places. There simply is no hard monopoly
