Description:

synapse has account reactivation, but i don't think dendrite has that, would be a useful feature, esp rn as i'm sorta in need of it xD

You can poke the user_account table and reactivate directly there....

i mean deactivation only exists by either poking the db or logging in as the user and using the user endpoint, so like of course it wont exist.

also imo it shouldnt be added but thats just my personal take

synapse has it and i think itd come in handy when u need it https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#create-or-modify-account

deactivated is set to false and the user was previously deactivated (you are reactivating this user)

Given /deactivate doesn't just set a flag in Dendrite but also removes the user from every room they were in, I'm not sure this is something we currently want to implement.
