Divine: Bringing back vine on open social protocols
rabble

Divine began as an attempt to bring back Vine, but quickly turned into something much bigger: a decentralized, human-first social video platform built to resist enshittification, AI slop, and centralized control. Since its announcement, the project has drawn massive attention — from hundreds of thousands of curious users and former Vine creators to coverage in outlets like TechCrunch, The Guardian, and TechRadar — revealing a deep hunger for a more creative, user-owned internet.
