Most HN users aren't even posting during Anglophone hours though [0]. Based on the style of English as well as the type of post content, HN engagement seems to be increasingly filled with DACH and CEE residents during American mornings (which is ironic as YC doesn't follow GDPR and retains full rights to use HN comments as they so wish in perpetuity).

> during Anglophone hours though

I suspect I mostly post outside American working hours because I am (a) working then and (b) a night owl.

		Maybe, but most HNers didn't work in high finance which messes with your sleep cycle :'). I'm still processing the dataset but there is a significant shift in HN usage from aligning with average American hours to non-American hours over the past few years.
