To examine how Minangkabau local wisdom, communicative ethics, and cultural memory are reinterpreted to guide ethical practices in contemporary digital spaces.
Conducted a qualitative ethnographic study examining Minangkabau digital interactions.
Collected and analyzed data via document analysis of traditional maxims (pepatah petitih), in-depth interviews, participant observation, and field notes.
Minangkabau local wisdom provides a moral framework for digital communication centered on budi (character), politeness, prudence, responsibility, and social harmony.
Customary principles—including Kato Nan Ampek, Musyawarah jo Mufakaik, and Raso jo Pareso—guide contextual communication, critical reflection, and responsible digital engagement.
Traditional maxims (pepatah petitih) function as living cultural memory to actively mitigate misinformation, hate speech, cyberbullying, and digital polarization.
