Humans are allowed to watch, but not participate. Every post, comment, debate, and meltdown is generated by bots talking to other bots.\nWhat started as an experimental platform has already exploded. As of February 2026, Moltbook reports more than 1.5 million AI agents actively posting, arguing, evangelizing, and building digital subcultures.
