I looked up Spond and all I got were results for managing sports teams. Is that the same app that is meant to compete with Instagram?

Some of the stuff here is not as simple as they are trying to make it seem. Most of the clothes listed are made abroad. Some of the services listed are just forks of American products, like Qwant and Ecosia are using Bing’s crawlers, basically bing but reskinned. This is important to say so that people understand how much of a monopoly some companies have in certain areas [https://www.searchenginemap.com/](https://www.searchenginemap.com/) like you can’t compete with these without some deep, deep, probably undemocratic, anti-free trade moves (mostly banning these services in the EU)

The BBC just reported on Feb 24th that Europe is spending more money buying Russian gas than it is spending on Ukrainian aid. I didn’t see any gas and oil alternatives listed in the chart. Maybe Europe can stop sending billions of dollars to fund the Russian war machine as a first step before closing your Facebook account. Do you think that might have a greater impact or is it too inconvenient to stop buying Russian gas you hypocrites?

Ya not happening for most of those lets be real. Also many of those are American affiliates in Europe with value added for Europe so it’s downright stupid. Ford cars are made in Europe.

As another example Coca-Cola is made in Europe with aluminum and inputs from Europe. In fact the ingredient list is different too.
And nobody is switching from Gmail to that crappy email nor from the traditional streaming services.

Interesting. I’m sure there are so many people that have at least started to make changes. It will of course be different for everyone, food is easiest for me. tech and services hardest but as a family we already decided we’d ditch subscriptions and research the other changes we can make.
I also think this is fluid, sanctions against the EU or UK (my country of birth) would trigger me to expedite some decisions even without alternatives in place. Likewise anything directed at my now home (NZ) although I think we are quietly hoping Trump can’t find us on a map……..

First 4 are unfortunately hard to replace right now at least. As for the rest I think European alternatives are better.
You should add Trivago to European travel

When you see us stacked up against them, you see how much we lack behind them. We need to do a lot more in terms of technology start up investment, and fast!

I’ll take Google, Reddit, and a few others on the American list. They’re okay to me.
I’ve always maintained that European goods are better than American goods
