Feminism, Infrastructure, Technology

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.

In gathering a wide variety of practitioners and collectives, we are always expanding, and looking to add to this growing bibliography of ‘being online’.
