Deleting X: Why SIGDOC Left the Platform

As the Social Media and Communications Manager for the Special Interest Group on Design of Communication of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM SIGDOC), I felt it necessary to re-evaluate which social media/communication platforms are representative of our membership.I have been in the role since December 2023, and like any "good" designer might do, approached making a decision with our members, rather than for them.ACM SIGDOC brings together professionals and researchers who shape how people interact with digital systems and information.We're a community of user experience (UX) designers, technical communicators, content strategists, and educators-all focused on making communication clearer and more human-centered.From research to practical application, SIGDOC supports our members with a yearly conference, a peer-reviewed newsletter (Communication Design Quarterly, https:// bit.ly/ 3Hi3Pz4), yearly cutting-edge proceedings, and online workshops (launching Fall 2025).So . . .how did we go about deciding to delete our X account?To gather member feedback, I distributed a survey through our listserv in March 2025.
