Apparently SmartScreen thinks the site is "dangerous" - not entirely sure why (maybe the newly seen domain) but that was funny to see on launch.

Clawdbot Renames to Moltbot

Well, my plan to make a Moltar theme for Moltbot for the wordplay of it is not quite so pertinent anymore. Ah well. None-the-less, welcome openclaw. https://spaceghost.fandom.com/wiki/Moltar

Anyone else already referred to it as Openclawd, perhaps by accident?

Timing here is funny. Moltbook is just starting to show up on HN and Reddit as Moltbot lore, with agents talking to agents and culture forming.

Once agents have tools and a shared surface, coordination appears immediately.

Such apt name and logo for this cancerous AI growth.

RIP Moltbot, though you were not liked by most people

I'm completely bike shedding, but I just want to say I highly approve. Moltbot was a truly horrible name, and I was afraid we were going to be stuck with it.

(I'm sure people will disagree with this, but Rust is also a horrible name but we're stuck with it. Nothing rusty is good, modern or reliable - it's just a bad name.)

Everyone shitting on this without looking should look at the creator, and/or try it out. I didn't really dive in but its extremely well integrated with a lot of channels, to big thing is all these onnectors that work out of the box. It's also security aware and warns on the startup what to do to keep it inside a boundary.
