This study examines the relationship between language use and agency depicted in two digital feminist media postings, namely Magdalene.co and @indonesiafeminis. Data were articles published in Magdalene.co and Instagram posts on @indonesiafeminis, interpreted using agency theory from December 2020 to June 2021. The results demonstrate that while both platforms are arguably populated by agents of roughly similar social backgrounds (highly educated, urban-based, and aware of gender issues), they appeal to their readership through the use of different angles. Magdalene.co foregrounding individuality, while @indonesiafeminis being more collective, respectively. By personalizing the relation between the writers and the issues, Magdalene would like to appeal to its readers that the women issues are very close to their everyday reality, which is also proven by the prevalent use of the Indonesian word saya ‘I’ in their publication to show individual agency. Meanwhile, @indonesiafeminis depersonalizes the issues by using kita and kami, both term mean ‘we’, to highlight the importance of collective agency in combatting gender-based issues and violence. These different agencies crafted by other platforms matter in their appeal strategy.
