mastodon instance admins: how do y'all handle "I give you permission to share these private posts" and such? (how do I tag this for instance admins to see? #mastodon #admins #mastoadmins #needhelp )
@Seipas If I DM someone some stuff and they ask my permission to repost it and I grant them permission. how is that handled? is it even handled? do they still get banned? etc (those are all the same questions but you get the idea)
@SoniEx2
Well, we don't see DMs except if they are reported, so if you don't report us the repost (and I don't see why you would since you gave the permission), yeah nothing happens.
I don't see why we would ban someone in a situation like this anyway, since you gave your permission. ^^'
You have to manually copy/paste to repost a DM, though, but as long as you have the permission of the OP I don't see why you couldn't do it.
I hope I answered your question.
