Twitter deletes decade's worth of posts by United Voices of the World, representing migrant and precarious workers

UVW is back on Twitter with the same username: @UVWunion.

Lesson not learned.

??? They need to agitate where the people are, not from where it might be more convenient to do so

I'm all for using all available resources to get your message across, but placing all your eggs into the same basket that was just blown up is peak stupidity.

They complain decades worth of posts were deleted, but instead of posting it somewhere else and just mirroring it to Twitter they went back to the same platform, with the same leadership and the same policies asking for the same to happen again.

They need to agitate where the people are

I would also argue that people you want to join and support unions are no longer on Twitter. It's owned by openly anti-union child, and operated by Linda Yaccarino, former NBCUniversal’s advertising executive.

Is "placing all your eggs into the same basket" really what's happened here? I don't see it.

You think precarious workers are no longer on twitter because of musk and some exec no ones ever heard of?

No, I don't think passive scrollers are no longer on Twitter. But I know active people that actually engage and support causes they care about are no longer on Twitter.

And secondary to that, unions are invisible on Twitter due to policies and algorithms set by current Twitter leadership. Best example of that being you can't even see posts without being logging in into an account anymore.
