wasteof.money (commonly shortened to "wasteof" or "wom", though "wom" is not officially accepted)[1] is a social media website created and developed by Jeffalo, mainly as a hobby project. It describes itself as a "next-gen" simple social media which focuses on user interaction, self-expression, and communication free from big corporations[2]. The site exclusively uses lowercase (besides user-generated content and posts). The current version, named wasteof2, was officially released on June 12, 2021. wasteof3, the planned successor to wasteof2, is available as a public beta.

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 while.

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