The phenomenon of increasing the activities of citizens of the world on digital platforms is increasing. Interactions between citizens, which previously took place in person, are now shifting online. The shifting interactions between humans certainly impact human life. This article intends to provide the idea of developing digital civility for Indonesian netizens to interact responsibly online through citizenship education. This study is critical because the digital civility of Indonesian netizens is very low when interacting in the digital world, especially on social media. The research approach used in this study is qualitative. The research was implemented in students of Buana Perjuangan Karawang University. The interview results indicate that Buana Perjuangan Karawang University students understand that it is essential to maintain civility when interacting on social media. These results are demonstrated by the efforts that have been made, namely by transforming the values of citizens' courtesy into a digital context through digital citizenship education in society, instilling the values of digital civility in society, and improving citizens' digital civility through community.
