I heartily commend the Executive Committee's decision to leave X/Twitter—and also your thoughtful explanation of the reasons for the decision ... though, let's admit it, it wasn't really a difficult decision, was it? In any case, well done! It makes way more sense for SIGDOC to be on Bluesky.

The trend is clear: more and more organizations, including subsets of professional organizations, such as SIGDOC (of which I'm a member), are jumping ship from X (Twitter).

The following is a statement written on behalf of SIGDOC documenting why we deleted our X account. Comment your thoughts below! cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/del...

Proceedings reviews are due in two weeks! Please be sure to upload your review(s) to EasyChair by June 13.
