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.

    According to the Reddit terms of service, the person that posts the content owns the copyright. So Reddit itself can’t make you take it down. The person that wrote it could since they hold the copyright.

    The legal thing to do would be to ask permission from whoever wrote it.

      I wonder if this means I can sue Reddit for copyright violations on all the comments in my now deleted account that were rolled back?

      I clicked the delete button, and the site confirmed they were in fact deleted. They shouldn’t be allowed to rollback content that I own the copyright to.
