Video-sharing platform Vine relaunched as Divine last year, nine years after it was shut down. Yesterday, the Divine app was finally available for download via the Play Store, App Store and Zapstore, allowing users to once again access the short-form video platform that was quite popular before the TikTok era.
The uniqueness of Divine is that it does not allow artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content. Videos up to 6 seconds can be uploaded, and Divine's system will detect that they were recorded using a phone and not AI-generated.
In addition to being revived as Divine, the developers of this app will also restore up to 500,000 classic Vine videos that were successfully backed up before the service was terminated. The original video owners can ask Divine to give them back their old accounts or request that the videos be deleted if they do not want them to appear on the site.
Because Divine is funded by Jack Dorsey, it uses the open-source Nostr protocol. This allows other developers to create their own apps to display Divine content. Although the app is now available for download, access is still limited to those who receive an invitation first.
