Overview
- diVine launched in public beta on web and mobile, with over 10,000 iOS TestFlight sign-ups reported within hours as the team works through Apple App Store reviews.
- The reboot restores more than 100,000 classic Vines, with project estimates of roughly 150,000–200,000 clips from about 60,000 creators, including partial recovery of comments and view data.
- The platform blocks suspected generative AI by using Guardian Project technology to verify that uploads were recorded on a smartphone and to flag inauthentic media.
- Original creators retain copyright, can file DMCA takedowns, and may reclaim profiles by verifying social accounts listed in their former Vine bios, though verification is currently manual.
- Funded by Jack Dorsey’s “and Other Stuff” and built on the decentralized, open-source Nostr protocol, diVine positions itself as a human-first alternative as Elon Musk’s promised Vine archive has not launched.
