Jack Dorsey-Backed diVine Revives Vine’s Six-Second Loops With Restored Archive

The project revives six‑second loops with a recovered archive to offer a human‑first alternative to algorithmic short‑video apps.

Vine fue una plataforma de videos breves que era parte de Twitter y se adelantó a TikTok, pero desapareció hace años; ahora vuelve como diVine, y está financiada por uno de los fundadores de Twitter

Overview

  • diVine is live on the web, iOS and Android, and it lets creators reclaim old Vine accounts and request takedowns of their videos.
  • The launch surfaces between roughly 100,000 and 200,000 original Vine clips from pre‑shutdown backups tied to about 60,000 creators.
  • Early tests note that some restored videos currently display as unavailable even as new uploads play normally.
  • The effort is led by early Twitter engineer Evan Henshaw‑Plath and funded through Jack Dorsey’s nonprofit and Other Stuff, with decentralized tech under the hood.
  • Coverage differs on the platform’s AI stance, with some reports citing an outright ban on AI‑generated content and others describing labeling instead, as the app reenters a market shaped by TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
