Description

This paper explores the idea of a "feminist server stack," which challenges traditional, centralized internet infrastructure by proposing alternative, community-driven digital spaces. It draws from feminist principles to rethink how digital tools and networks are designed, governed, and used—prioritizing care, consent, and collective control over data. The paper critiques dominant, profit-driven tech ecosystems and imagines new ways of structuring servers, storage, and communication that align with ethical and inclusive values. Ultimately, it advocates for a reimagined digital landscape where technology empowers marginalized voices and fosters more equitable, decentralized, and self-sustaining digital communities.

Reflection

In reimagining servers as sites of care, A Feminist Server Stack enacts affirmative ethics by centering consent, maintenance, and relationality within digital infrastructure. Through co-design, it resists extractive norms and proposes a situated, collective stack that foregrounds the politics of hosting—where serving becomes an act of feminist world-building.
