I'm talking about both I guess? But not at the same time. Like I think most people agree that reposting is bad and you should never do it (except for all the people who do.)
But I do think there are also times where you shouldn't even rec. Like, blatant example: if someone posts something to their DW under a friendslock with an author's note "please don't tell anybody about this" I think most people would agree that you shouldn't then go rec it to people who aren't in the friendslock.
Where people draw the line beyond that varies a lot? I think I draw the line (especially for recs) a lot farther in than most people. But I treat AO3 archive lock the same as I would DW lock, basically: if it's locked, don't talk about it outside lock. Not everybody agrees about that! I'm trying to find out where different peoples' lines are. Is there any fanwork you wouldn't even rec outside of a private space?
