Add ability to see which twitter account the original tweet came from

Open ThisIsMissEm opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Hi! We've a few users using crossposter for very very spammy purposes, without actually be a good member of mastodon. Whilst we'd like to delete this, we'd also like to flag this upstream on Twitter, as it likely violates their TOS too.

Currently, I can only see the application name, is there any way to get the original twitter URL?

Hey, Emelia! There's no way to see the original tweet url, I guess. There's two ways I usually to track a bad actor, one is to try to find the text using twitter search (but this only works if the account is not closed/private), the other is to try to see if they posted some quote-rt recently and follow the URL if there's one.

On the other hand, if you are seeing spammy posts by a user using the crossposter, don't hesitate to message me at renatolond @ masto.donte.com.br or at the crossposter profile also at masto.donte.com.br with the user profile in Switter and I'll investigate on my side to see if the user should be blocked from the crossposter :)
