6 seconds of fame are back: Vine just got a resurrection

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Jack Dorsey is backing diVine, a Vine reboot that restores classic looping videos and lets creators post new six-second clips.
• The platform bans AI-generated videos, uses verification tech from the Guardian Project, and runs on the decentralized Nostr protocol to keep content human and creator-controlled.
• While Elon Musk is working on his own AI-powered Vine revival, diVine is betting big on nostalgia and authenticity.

Once upon a time, Vine was the biggest craze in the looping-video scene. It was a six-second playground that turned everyday moments into endlessly replayable cultural snapshots. While Vine may have vanished years ago, its comeback is arriving from an unexpected place. Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, the very company that shut Vine down, is now backing diVine, a reboot that restores part of the original archive and brings six-second looping videos back to life.
