Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of social media fatigue (SMF) within the context of digital activism, focusing on the “17+8 People's Demands” movement in Indonesia in 2025. Data were collected qualitatively through content analysis of online media monitoring Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and X from August 28 to September 21, 2025. Findings reveal that after an initial surge of participation and viral attention, there was a sharp decline in engagement and discussion, driven by information overload, opinion polarization, and disappointment with the slow response from authorities. A significant concern is that despite the demands remaining unfulfilled, conversations on social media quickly ceased and were no longer discussed. This study confirms that while social media is effective in raising awareness, it is not necessarily efficient in driving structural or policy change. The results contribute to the literature on social media fatigue and the de-amplification of social issues in the digital age, highlighting the need for sustained activism strategies that integrate online and offline approaches.

Abstract

Current health communication practices are changing with the development of social media and digital culture. Health communication not only examines the process of conveying health information but also becomes part of popular culture that is closely linked to aesthetics, consumption, and power relations. This is evident in the concept of wellness culture, which represents health as a healthy lifestyle based on ideal standards and closely related to consumption practices and performance. This study aims to analyze how women interpret health messages in wellness culture, how the body is represented, and how consumerism and power relations operate in contemporary health communication. This study uses a critical paradigm with a qualitative approach. Data collection was conducted through in-depth semi-structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with women aged 18-30. Data analysis was conducted using feminist health communication theory and standpoint theory. The results show that the meaning of a healthy life for women is private and diverse. Health is not simply understood as physical and mental balance but also refers to lifestyle, self-image, and performance displayed in the digital space. Wellness culture encourages and reinforces visual representations of healthy bodies, with standards that create a performative burden for women to improve and display their bodies and lifestyles in digital spaces. These wellness practices are also closely linked to mechanisms of consumerism, where healthy living practices are linked to the consumption of certain products or services as symbols of identity. Power relations are also found within the wellness industry. This research adds to critical health communication studies and focuses on the interconnectedness of health messages, power, consumerism, and wellness culture. ABSTRAK Praktik komunikasi kesehatan saat ini mengalami perubahan seiring perkembangan media sosial dan budaya digital. Komunikasi kesehatan tidak hanya menilik proses penyampaian informasi kesehatan, namun juga menjadi bagian dari budaya populer yang erat dengan estetika, konsumsi dan relasi kuasa. Hal ini dapat terlihat dari adanya konsep wellness culture yang merepresentasikan kesehatan sebagai gaya hidup sehat yang didasari oleh standar ideal dan berkaitan erat dengan praktik konsumsi performatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana perempuan memaknai pesan kesehatan dalam wellness culture, bagaimana tubuh direpresentasikan, bagaimana konsumerisme dan relasi kuasa bekerja dalam komunikasi kesehatan kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma kritis dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam semi terstruktur dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD) pada perempuan dalam rentang usia 18 – 30 tahun. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan feminist health communication theory dan standpoint theory. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa makna hidup sehat bagi perempuan bersifat privat dan beragam. Kesehatan tidak sekadar dipahami sebagai keseimbangan fisik dan mental, tetapi juga merujuk pada gaya hidup, citra diri dan performa yang ditampilkan dalam ruang digital. Wellness culture mendorong dan menguatkan representasi tubuh sehat secara visual dengan standar yang menghasilkan beban performatif bagi perempuan untuk memperbaiki dan memperlihatkan kondisi tubuh serta gaya hidup di ruang digital. Praktik wellness ini juga berkaitan erat dengan mekanisme konsumerisme, yakni ketika praktik hidup sehat dilekatkan pada konsumsi produk atau jasa tertentu sebagai simbol identitas. Relasi kuasa juga ditemukan dalam industri wellness. Penelitian ini menambah kajian komunikasi kesehatan kritis dan fokus pada keterkaitan pesan kesehatan, kuasa, konsumerisme dan wellness culture.

Abstract

The social media account @bumijo.id focuses on education and promoting an environmentally friendly lifestyle. The @Bumijo social media platform has the potential to serve as a campaign medium for environmental awareness. This research aims to analyze the Instagram content of @bumijo.id in building environmental awareness among social media consumers. The content analysis is viewed from the perspective of the social media audience. The study uses a quantitative approach to determine the influence of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on the intention to purchase environmentally friendly products offered by Bumijo. Furthermore, a qualitative approach is used to understand the forms of environmentally friendly behavior, the utilization of social media, and the barriers to implementing eco-living. Quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple regression, while qualitative data were obtained through focus group discussions and interviews and analyzed using the data analysis model of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived control simultaneously influence the intention to purchase eco-friendly products by 22.5%. Literacy regarding eco-living is considered low, with implementation barriers predominantly due to the high cost of products.
