DANCING WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: How Indonesian Ketofastosis Community Express their Healthy Lifestyle on Facebook

Inge Salsabila Suryaman, Bambang Sukma Wijaya

Abstract

This article exposes how the Indonesian Ketofastosis (KF) community through the Facebook group expresses a healthy lifestyle, cultural practices online, views, and social movements related to the Covid-9 pandemic. Using the netnographic method, we found three main points that stand out in the community: 1) efforts to legitimize lifestyle, 2) sharing and caring practices, 3) social responsibility. Health issues related to Covid-19, such as 'Covid-19 victims mostly have high blood sugar history' or 'Ketoers are more immune than non-Ketoers,' becoming a "logical anchor" for some community members to strengthen their reasons for choosing the KF lifestyle. Several members also shared their experiences of living a healthy lifestyle in the face of the pandemic. Furthermore, administrators and several other members were motivated to carry out social activities by assisting frontline health workers who treat Covid-19 patients. It confirms that the Indonesian KF community has a sense of community as well as social responsibility. This study helps understand the micro-social phenomena associated with a pandemic outbreak.
