    Not sure what the core reason is, but Reddit also had a big German population.

    I guess Germans are rather privacy focused so they might have been disproportionately migrating during the reddit exodus.

      3rd Reich then east Germany gave Germany a hard lesson about privacy, so indeed they’re very sensitive to that topic

          Having the data is one thing, using data for genocide and oppression is whole different issue.

          But despite all that history, Germans will blindly support Israel

            sadly, data that is too centralized and easily available will always be abused at some point. the recent US developments are showing this nicely.
