What's the legality of copy/pasting or rewording interesting guides and resource posts from Reddit?
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.

Notalawyer but I say copy everything. Strip the bones of reddit like a school of piranhas for anything useful (do credit original authors when possible). Fuck that Steve guy for hamstringing one of the most ubiquitous knowledge repositories since the Alexandria Library
It is crazy that we live at the same time as that failure. He legit owns that embarrassing title. His parents must be proud they created that. Lol
Which title? Greedy Pig Boy? Or Official Moderator of r/jailbait?
Lawyer or not, it doesn’t matter. Your laws aren’t my laws. It’s the internet. You can copy anything you want.
