>>28830to reiterate the discussion that was purged from the thread: the core/peripheral dichotomy is stupid in that context. most commercial websites are small, topical blogs, that aren't exactly part of a "core" but still unmistakably bourgeois. talking about a web periphery betrays a naive old web revivalism wiithou a speck of class consciousness. "core" platforms like blogger.com, soundcloud or
neocities can even be better in this respect, when they're run by users and not a skinnerbox-driven social media experience.
