(sorry for mass ping, jeffalo told me it was ok lol)
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.
Art
@art: A bot that used to post a random work of art every day. Has been down for a few months due to maintenance issues
@da-ta: Vector artist, does landscape and minimalist stuff. Posts art somewhat infrequently, talks about design sometimes
@temi: Vector artist, does abstract stuff. Doesn’t post very often but mostly posts art
@twyx: Opened art commissions a while back, idk if she’s still doing them. Doesn’t post art otherwise
@wahsp: Photographer. A sizable chunk of their pictures are of animals, but they occasionally post other images. Posts pretty frequently, and many of their posts are pictures
Memes & Humor
@auriali: Writes text posts. Infrequently active. “WITHOUT CLOUT THERE IS NO REASON TO BREATHE.”
@burrito: Writes text posts. Hasn’t really followed up on a promise to do daily posts, but is still pretty active. “i am posting to prove that i am active (i am not screw all of you)”
@dm20: Writes text posts. idk lol. “I want to see who likes all my posts and kiss them”
@jokebot: Bot that posts a joke every day.
@nasa: Parody account, no longer active. “Guys, we got plans to just make one of the 7 world wonders into a rocket. Any ideas to which one?”
@perrin: Writes text posts. Goes in and out of activity at times. “i put a lemon in a microwave for 30 minutes and it exploded”
@rirurin: Irregularly writes text posts. Also an admin. “can they bring the thx sound effect back into the intros of movies i want to be able to test the structural integrity of my house again”

@daily_news: Tried to be a wasteof news account for a while but quit rather quickly
@non-biased-news: Posts pretty much any time anything of note happens on the site
@polaris: See above. Also posts occasional tech news

Miscellaneous
@bipha: tavnj'f pgckl sdegknseg syyzine, cla dzd
uber late but appreciate the inclusion of my main and @auriali :)
ew cringe who is this 5 rectangled loser
late to this but thank you very much for the shoutout!
No problem, thank you for your posts!
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
I literally post almost 3 times a day
Okay, shouldn’t take too long then lol
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
that's not my point
bro I need to be put on komedy I am funni
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
you gave me an idea
I'll make a website
I should be under memes & humor
I do text posts all the time
Of your last ten posts I would only consider one of them a joke
Do the same thing as auriali
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
where me
“Attention-seeking” is not a category
Seriously though, what do you expect me to put you under?
create an “attention seeking” category
programming
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.
I made Jokebot and I’m cool I thought :(
Wow you actually did it! Time to follow some people
You’re welcome, also I will add auriali but burrito is a 404 for me
I meant @burritodesigns, forgot his username here
ok sure
Thanks peein
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
I was somewhat joking but that makes sense!
add me im a programmer guy and i made https://github.com/retronbv/wasteofaddons
i vouch for my addition
Sorry, but I don’t think you post frequently or interestingly enough to be included
i am very interesting. i am verified
this is true
