Changes I would do to wasteof.money:

  1. Pages for followers & following instead of a load more button as it’s hard to get back when you accidentally reload.

  2. A way to view every user (we all know why I want this).

  3. Message history in /chat, or at least some text that says when the last message was posted.

  4. Reporting users for their PFP, im a wasteof yay, banner or something else (e.g. for ban evasion).

If there are any improvements that could be done to these, I’ll consider updating the list :) I might also add more every so often.

  1. what radi8 said

  2. can’t happen due to privacy concerns

  3. perhaps, but he doesn’t really work on it anymore

  4. i think user reporting is planned and those are good ideas for things you can report for

How is #2 a privacy concern if you can still see any user? It just makes it a lot harder to find users.

due to the nature of google login it would doxx people who use google oauth (jeffalo talked about this at some point)

if you join wasteof using a google account it uses your name as the username (unless your name is longer than the limit)

Oh

Isn’t that a security issue?

only if they are discoverable

cheesewhisk3rs:

Couldn’t you still try names and find users?

7/3/2024, 6:47:10 PM
wynd:

wdym try names? if you know their name already then you don’t benefit from knowing their name again

7/3/2024, 6:49:45 PM
cheesewhisk3rs:

I meant try common first names for users to see if they exist

7/3/2024, 7:09:20 PM
wynd:

it sets your username to your full name and search isn’t that good

7/3/2024, 7:22:23 PM
cheesewhisk3rs:

Oh- isn’t that a major security issue Jeffalo should fix then?

7/3/2024, 7:28:43 PM
wynd:

i mean you can just change your username but i guess jeffalo could probably change the system

Couldn’t it assign a random 20 character number instead? There’s practically no chance we’ll ever run out of numbers and nobody would get doxxed that way.

the pages you mentioned are paginated alpha, beta, and *technically* prod, but via the API.

Oh I never noticed that
