Jack Dorsey backs diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive of 6-second, looping videos.

However, unlike on traditional social media, where AI content is often haphazardly labeled, diVine will flag suspected generative AI content and prevent it from being posted.

Although I really enjoyed and kinda miss Vine, I think it's important to realize Vine was also a product of its time.
The internet culture changed a lot since Vine shutdown. Bringing Vine back won't bring that old culture back, and the 6-second limit is more likely to alienate new users used to the modern short-video platforms than anything.

I will give them props for trying to fight the seemingly unstoppable slop-ification of the internet, but ultimately it believe it would be best to leave Vine and the great memories we had with it on the past.

......Also, negative interest with interacting with Nostr and crypto powered social media ๐Ÿคข

Yeah, it is just going to be filled with shortened down tiktok slop rather than anything it would have been in the past.

The 6 second time limit and forced 3 time loop was really annoying. Short videos, sure. But maybe like average song length short. 3 minutes.

Then again, those quirks are what made some pretty memorable Vines ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

We have a billion platforms for longer vids. The shortness is what made vine amazing. They need to keep it that way.

3 minutes is a fucking movie marathon in modern content terms (and I'll never forgive big tech for it)

He's so desperate to be relevant. This will flop so hard.

But why? 6 second video slop is already everywhere.

[โ€“] iloveDigit@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Looks like the 6 second limit is already removed but I can't really tell because the launch version of this app is so broken it could just be a glitch. Hope it keeps improving

I hope he won't fight the removal of the 6-second limit after beta testing is over. That should just be a way to save storage space and bandwidth during the beta test. Nostr is decentralized, so there should be nothing stopping someone from mirroring the app with no 6-second limit in their version, if it actually gets developed into a stable service. Or this jack-backed version could just remove the 6-second limit

Neat? But not worth my time
