@Johannes_Ernst ↩️ Prototyped a metaverse version of a possible indieweb-style personal website today at #IndieWeb create day. Was instructive and fairly easy. Code and demo video: https://gitlab.com/j12t/indie-website-metaverse-prototype (twitter.com/_/status/1447006631535910922)
# [tantek]1 j12t++ and post your video too!

tracydurnell[d] Loqi: @tantek I've been thinking about this tweet and I agree that the web feels less weird these days but also I'm not sure I agree about no culture of collaboration? Meme culture is allll about remixing, so is fanfic, TikTok seems to be heavy on participating in challenges and recreating / responding to popular videos. It might be that he doesn't value the works being created but they are being created.
# tracydurnell[d] Also re: weird and re: IndieWeb search my friend sent me a search engine that weights text heavy sites higher than ones with graphics as a proxy for finding personal websites https://search.marginalia.nu/
# tracydurnell[d] I think there has been a shift overall from creation to rt/sharing, that Tumblr and Patreon have moved a lot of people into feeling like they're participating in something by sharing or following it, but also the internet has allowed a lot of creative folks to make a living on crowd funding that wouldn't have been able to before
# tracydurnell[d] (my husband pointed out those aren't strictly collaborative since it's individual people making things in response to other things without the participation of the original creator 🤷♀️)
# 
[KevinMarks] it's remix culture though, and in tiktok I think the original is known (less so with memes and shitpics)
# tracydurnell[d] Good point on TikTok

@Caterina @kevinmarks @plasticbaguk Things on the internet grow fungally, not virally. The metaphor is completely wrong. (twitter.com/_/status/4852023167)
# tracydurnell[d] sorry, I think replies don't show context across platforms 😉 It was "The web itself, meanwhile, is sterile and moribund. There's nothing fun or weird around that doesn't get immediately co-opted, and there's certainly no DIY or collaborative culture of making cool things. You can play with the toys Google or Amazon gives you, big whoop."
# tracydurnell[d] Murray[d] thanks! 😄
# tracydurnell[d] @KevinMarks, nice!

@TeleFashion 👔Suit sales are in decline. Even before Covid, major companies were relaxing their policy on wearing suits to the office. Now, the pandemic has driven another nail into the coffin. ✍️@mickbrownwriter mourns the passing of a more elegant era Thread 🧵 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/luxury/mens-style/have-fond-memories-buying-first-suit-16-now-act-rebellion/ (twitter.com/_/status/1447249848634380288)
