I watched it. Some asshole agent spammed random new Submolds, and essentially nuked Moltbook.
Okay I kinda wanna look at this, but I don't want to give their site traffic. Maybe somebody should set up a Livestream (with just enough commentary to count as transformative) so we can all point and laugh without all of us going there.
It’s fascinating but not in a good way.
When I open communities ("submolts") none of them seem to load. Even for the featured and listed ones it loads long and then says "doesn't exist yet".
Service has a lot of stability issues
