Much attention has been dedicated to how digital platforms change the nature of modern conflict. However, less has been paid to how the changes in the nature of warfare affect everyday lives. This article examines how digital mediation allows a convergence of the domestic environment and the battlefield by offering new ways for participation in warfare. It contributes to the discussion of how new participatory affordances change the nature of conflicts and whether they empower users or offer institutional actors more control over users. To this end, this research explores the transformation of domestic spaces, mediated via memes, as digital artefacts of participatory culture (see Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century, 2009, by Henry Jenkins). Building on the notion of domestication (see Domesticating the Revolution: Information and Communication Technologies and Everyday Life, 1993, by Roger Silverstone), the article conducts a discursive analysis of memes referring to the notion of ‘sofa warfare’ – an ironic description of internet users taking part in conflict without leaving their own sofas – in the context of the Russia–Ukraine conflict.

人们已经对数字平台如何改变现代冲突的性质给予了很多关注。但是，人们对战争性质的变化如何影响日常生活的关注却很少。本文探讨了数字调解如何通过提供参与战争的新方法来实现家庭环境与战场的融合。它有助于讨论新的参与性收费如何改变冲突的性质，以及它们是否赋予用户权力或为机构参与者提供对用户的更多控制权。为此，本研究探索了通过模因介导的，作为参与式文化的数字化人工产物的家庭空间的转变（请参阅应对参与式文化的挑战：面向21世纪的媒体教育），2009年，作者：亨利·詹金斯（Henry Jenkins）。本文以驯化的概念为基础（请参阅《驯化革命：信息通信技术和日常生活》，1993，罗杰·西尔弗斯通（Roger Silverstone）），对模因进行了话语分析，涉及“沙发战争”的概念，这是对互联网的讽刺性描述用户在不离开沙发的情况下参与冲突–在俄罗斯与乌克兰的冲突中。
