Jack Dorsey Brings Vine Back to Life
Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is backing diVine, a new app that revives Vine’s iconic six-second looping videos. Launching with over 100,000 restored clips, diVine lets users explore the archive, create profiles, and upload new videos. Moreover, unlike traditional social platforms, the app flags suspected AI-generated content, ensuring authentic, human-made uploads.
In addition, the platform allows users to connect with creators and rediscover Vine’s most memorable moments, making it more than just a nostalgia tool.
Creators Maintain Control
Vine creators keep full copyright over their content. For example, they can submit DMCA takedown requests or verify ownership of their old accounts to remove or re-upload videos. Verified creators can also post new content to diVine, keeping the platform fresh.
Furthermore, the platform uses Guardian Project technology to ensure new uploads are human-made and recorded on smartphones.
“People want agency over their social experiences,” Rabble explained. “There’s nostalgia for the blogging and podcasting era, where communities were built, not algorithms gamed.”
DiVine runs on Nostr, a decentralized protocol that empowers developers to create apps, run servers, and host content independently.
In addition, this open-source approach allows innovation and experimentation, giving users more control and ensuring the platform remains resilient.
Even as generative AI content dominates platforms like OpenAI Sora and Meta AI, diVine prioritizes authentic, human-first content. Users can relive the Vine era while maintaining control over their feeds.
In addition, by reviving Vine’s archive and empowering creators, diVine blends nostalgia with modern innovation. It offers a human-first social media experience for a new generation, which is both unique and engaging.
