The main page of wasteof2, as it appears to logged-in users

wasteof.money (commonly shortened to "wasteof") is a social media website created and developed by Jeffalo, mainly as a hobby project. It is located at wasteof.money. It describes itself as a "next-gen" simple social media which focuses on user interaction, self-expression, and communication free from big corporations.^[1] The site exclusively uses lowercase (besides user-generated content and posts).

The current version, named wasteof2, was released on June 12th, 2021. wasteof3, the planned successor to wasteof2, is available as a public beta. The first public version, wasteof.money legacy, was released in November 2020.

Logo of wasteof.money legacy

wasteof.money legacy, (sometimes called wasteof1), was the pre-release version of wasteof.money. It used EJS to render pages. In this version, many later features were missing, such as reposting. Development on wasteof.money first started on November 16th, 2020. It was first publicly tested on November 30th, 2020, and was only up for a short time.

Because wasteof.money legacy was 100% open source, its source code can be found on GitHub.^[2]

Logo of wasteof3

wasteof3 is the latest non-stable version of wasteof. It is built with a beta version of SvelteKit and is intended to have a "codey, monospace" aesthetic.^[3] The beta of wasteof3 is located at beta.wasteof.money. Originally, you had to be invited to the beta of wasteof3 with a special key. The beta is now public, though you need an approved beta account to login.^[4]

Theming

wasteof3 has the ability to choose your accent color. It applies to any page besides a user page that is not yours. You can set it on your profile or via settings. The default color and color for non-wasteof3 users is indigo. The font used is Space Grotesk.^[5] On pride month, the navigation bar appears fading to each color of the rainbow, then transitioning to the regular theme color.

wasteof4

Main article: wasteof4

wasteof4 is a prototype version of wasteof.money built with SvelteKit 1.0. It is public, but can only be logged into by authorised testers, which are not the same testers of wasteof3.

Trivia

wasteof.money used to redirect to a rickroll^[6] before it became a social media site
The is.wasteof.money subdomain exists to tell people whether things are a waste of money or not
