Since Reddit is now explicitly planning to sell user generated content for AI training. It got me thinking about Lemmy.

What license are posts and comments assumed to be under on this instance? Is there an overarching lemmy policy (there doesn't seem to be)?

Is it down to the user to specify, if so how?

Are there any downsides with adopting a Creative Commons or other copyleft license?

Had introductory courses in Germany, and here it's pretty much like you say. By default, any content has all protections by law, i.e. it basically can't be used for anything except fair use like you say, satire or something.
