Let’s say you find a subreddit with a very interesting guide that contains no private information.

What’s the legality of copy / pasting that text over here? And if it is reworded, manually or with chat gpt?

The assumption here is that it would be done manually without scraping.

Edit: it looks like Reddit does not help the copyright and there wouldn’t be massive issues if we created a community to copy over posts with useful guides and tutorials. I can’t create it since I’m not on lemmy.world and wouldn’t have time to moderate it, but I would contribute if a community like that existed.

    Users content is owned by the users, Reddit’s TOS just gives them an unrestricted license to use it. So in theory, you would need the user’s permission to copy it elsewhere, but who the fuck would do that?
