replyI do not. Craigslist was completely anonymous. Marketplace a lot less so. This makes a massive difference.

I think that is not just limited to your area.
In Switzerland there is tutti, in Austria there is willhaben, Germany has Kleinanzeigen (afaik that's owned by eBay)
replySame for events, plenty of local or more spread sites for events in each of these counties.
So glad my general area didn't fall into the Facebook trap.
