Peripheral Web Stuff Anonymous 15-03-24 03:04:53 No.23711

I watched this video recently, and have been fascinated by the concept of "the peripheral web" (in contrast to "core web") and want to find more stuff out there. So how about a thread where we share neat stuff we find on the peripheral web?

First thing that comes to mind for me that isn't a blog or meta on this topic feel free to share either tho, just wanted to start the thread on a cool note is https://firstpersontetris.com/

The grumpy purple pony in this mock dialogue is unironically correct btw.

Oh certainly, having the two characters riff off each other lets the author cover a lot of nuance quickly. Makes me want to make videos in a similar format.

i guess the term "deep web" wasnt stupid enough

Deep web is when you need a password to access a site.

I feel like a good example would be something that:
- meets the criterion to count as peripheral web
- links to other sites that also meet that criterion

OP's Tetris example is more of a couldesac, the only links in it go back to the core web. There's probably a reason that the video focuses so much on the personal website aspect, that's gonna be the webbier parts of the periphery.
Could've just linked to the video series's accompanying site, the links section has some better examples: https://loveweb.neocities.org/main/

You mean like, websites that aren't social media platforms?

As an experiment, I am going to (at least try to) exclusively coom to art made by artists who have posted those works to their personal website.

If even core web sites can fall off due to lack of / difficulty to access NSFW content–Tumblr, for example–then that could be that's a factor in why people gravitate to the core, and one that seems immediately addressable if you can get people to make the habit of making pages linking to them.

Sites I've found so far:

Already down. I doubt posting on /leftypol/ would hug of death it, so probably gone for good out of disinterest. If you like something archive it. HDD (or LTO for longer term preservation) are cheap in terms of storage space.

n and h look too similar on the default font my browser is using. I need to set it back to comic mono or something.

As in "normal web" when you're not a social media addict? Got it.

There are search engines to help you find these kind of sites.
https://wiby.me/
https://marginalia-search.com/

use the optic "indieweb and blogroll"
https://stract.com/

Also worth mentioning RightDao for more general searches too since I like the results

I'm so glad he made that video because I have been spending so much time trying to warn people about algorithms but it's falling to deaf ears and techbro STEMlords are especially bad always defending it because they are too autistic to understand the difference between matching interest tags or searches you select versus content force fed to everyone like a mass brainwashing program who's only goal is profit.

So is this like a Bluesky ad?

Not anymore that it is a youtube ad. He's on fedi, he's just trying bluesky to cover his bases.

Anonymous 04-03-25 21:00:55 No.28653

>>28649
No, he just mentioned BlueSky but also mentioned trying Mastodon too iirc. He even encouraged YouTube users to ignore the recommendations even though that is how he gets most of his views from. The tl;dr is corporations are telling you how to think, you should think for yourself.

Sometimes I get the urge to make my own little website, but what would I even put on it? I have nothing to share with the world.

I thought the thread already had this debate but I guess not:
It's not a call to supooort something, it's an understanding that the current state of things, where the internet has accumulated around a handful of centralized platforms and search engines, is collapsing as the material conditions that allowed them to exist have passed, and smaller websites are emerging from that.

The thread premise is to explore this new, immanently approaching landscape.
