Dorsey-Backed Revival Brings Vine Back as AI-Free diVine in Beta

The reboot prioritizes human-shot clips verified at the device level to shut out generative content.

Overview

  • Evan Henshaw-Plath, an early Twitter employee known as Rabble, is leading the project with support from Jack Dorsey’s nonprofit And Other Stuff.
  • diVine restores Vine’s six-second looping format and uses Guardian Project tools to confirm videos originate from real devices.
  • The team has brought back a large portion of the original archive, with reports ranging from about 10,000 to more than 100,000 recovered clips.
  • The beta is live with limited access, with some reports indicating availability first to existing Nostr users.
  • Former Vine creators can claim their old clips or request removals, while the platform positions itself against AI-heavy feeds as X explores its own archive restoration.
