Abstract
The reason why this study was important to do is that this study was rarely researched, to know the impact of social media on the social dynamic of Joylada Indonesian Writers (one of the creative writing communities that had ever existed until September 31, 2024 in Indonesia), to prevent the potential data loss that can be used for case study of online writing community because the platform had significant social dynamics that are good to be learned. Even though the platform has not been operated in Indonesia and Laos since September 31, 2024 but the platform had significant social dynamics that are good to be learned. The research methods were case study, participant observation, and document analysis. The proposed approach is a qualitative approach.
