Germany might order their ISPs to block reddit, though. That might get them to change.

Germany has no ISP blocks. Hopefully, it stays that way.

As for the "US law doesn't apply"-argument: The US is a WIPO member. Trademark law applies. I went into more detail on the Holocaust-denial issue in another comment here, but it boils down to this: Reddit can ignore it for some time, but they will endanger subsidiaries/assets in Germany. Criminal liability is also possible, due to "Störerhaftung".
