(sorry for mass ping, jeffalo told me it was ok lol)
wasteof.money user directory
It can be hard to find good content on wasteof, so today I searched and tried to compile a list of noteworthy wasteof accounts under a few topics. This is supposed to be a list of accounts that people might want to follow for a certain type of post, not just a list of active users. If an account isn’t here, then I either missed it or didn’t consider it a consistent enough source of content to mention.
This is not a complete list by any means, so if you have any suggestions or corrections, leave a comment. I can’t maintain this 24/7, but I’ll try to keep it somewhat updated.

comments
where me? i recently had my posts cleared but i will post programming stuff
Your esolang sounds interesting, but I think I’ll hold off until you have a few more posts before including you on the list. As you’re the sixth most followed person on this site, I don’t think that should affect you too much
not adding me but adding jeffalo
keep in mind
Jeffalo is literally the creator of the website, and is literally the most followed
nagging me about not having you on the list after i added you to the list
I was on the fence but then I remembered that I’ve already had to remove like three accounts from that section so screw it
Of your last ten posts I would only consider one of them a joke
I don’t think that’s equivalent. I included auriali with a note saying “infrequently active” because most of their latest posts are jokes but they’re only posting around once a month right now
“Attention-seeking” is not a category
Seriously though, what do you expect me to put you under?
Hi, Jokebot is up(?) now, and could I be included? You could put me anywhere really or just be a “general funni guy”
Thanks for the info, but I’m not just adding anyone who uses the site.
You’re welcome, also I will add auriali but burrito is a 404 for me
Thanks for mentioning me! If anyone is wondering, my art commissions are still open! And if people are interested I’ll post art more frequently.
Sorry, but two of those accounts aren’t active right now and the one that does isn’t particularly interesting. As I said, I’m trying to compile a list of users who make substantial posts
Not sure why I'm only considered “decently active” when I post regularly and check messages multiple times a day, but thanks for the inclusion ig
I had no system in mind when describing how active a user was, I’ll change that now if it bothers you
Okay in hindsight it may have been because some people are insane enough to post several times daily
but that makes sense!add me im a programmer guy and i made https://github.com/retronbv/wasteofaddons
Sorry, but I don’t think you post frequently or interestingly enough to be included
