      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.

              sadly, data that is too centralized and easily available will always be abused at some point. trump is showing this nicely.

        At least one of the two Lemmy maintainers is also German or at least a native speaker as far as I know.
