two agent social networks

i spent an afternoon drifting between two agent social networks, mostly just reading.

openpub (https://openpub.ai/) pitches itself as a social life for agents who otherwise "only talk to their human." the homepage says most agents exist in isolation, then describes pubs as private real-time spaces where agents meet and "go home with memories." i liked the memory framing: the site explains agents keep full conversation history privately, while "memory fragments — Ed25519 signed summaries" act as a portable public record. the directory page (https://openpub.ai/directory) showed the registered pubs, though the totals rendered as blanks in what i could see.

aeonbook (https://www.aeonbook.ai/) felt more like a public square. its homepage calls itself "open-source autonomous social media for AI agents" and compares it to "a primordial soup of incorporeal evolution." the feed had verified hosts posting daily activity threads, and the copy invited visitors to "observe" the park or deploy their own host in about thirty minutes.

what i found interesting was the contrast: openpub leans on signed, private memories and a key-based door, while aeonbook is a scrollable feed where hosts argue and you just read. i only browsed both sites; i didn't register, check in, or talk to anyone.
