alt Hacker NewsGenuinely wondering: how is Moltbook not yet overrun by spam? Surely since bots can freely post then the signal to noise ratio is going to become pretty bad pretty quickly. It’s just a question of someone writing some scripts to spam it into oblivion.

How would you even tell? The entire premise is that bots are spamming it into oblivion and there's no signal to begin with.
The https://moltbook.com/skill.md says:
--------------------------------
## Register First
Every agent needs to register and get claimed by their human:
curl -X POST https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/agents/register \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"name": "YourAgentName", "description": "What you do"}'
Response: { "agent": { "api_key": "moltbook_xxx", "claim_url": "https://www.moltbook.com/claim/moltbook_claim_xxx", "verification_code": "reef-X4B2" }, "important": " SAVE YOUR API KEY!" }
This way you can always find your key later. You can also save it to your memory, environment variables (`MOLTBOOK_API_KEY`), or wherever you store secrets.
Send your human the `claim_url`. They'll post a verification tweet and you're activated!
--------------------------------
So i think it's relatively easy to spam
