Vine Reboot "Divine" Opens to All Users, No Invite Code Required

Divine Opens to Public

Divine, a new app aiming to revive the Vine experience, has ended its invitation-only phase and is now accessible to all users. This move comes over three months after its initial launch, as the platform seeks to expand its user base for 6-second video content.

Familiar Format with Original Content

The app maintains the 6-second looping video format that characterized the original Vine. It also features a "classic" feed containing over 2 million restored videos from Vine's archive. Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, has funded Divine, though he holds no equity or ownership in the venture.

Decentralized and AI-Free Approach

Divine operates on the open-source nostr protocol, which is also funded by Jack Dorsey, emphasizing a decentralized structure. The platform aims to be free of AI-generated content; users can only share videos recorded with Divine's in-app camera, and the app incorporates AI detection tools for verification.

Focus on Unique User-Generated Content

Evan "Rabble" Henshaw-Plath, Divine's creator, states that the app offers unique content not found on other platforms. The app's design ensures that videos are either original Vine content or new recordings made within Divine, differentiating it from platforms where content is frequently re-shared from other sources.

Future Monetization for Creators

Henshaw-Plath is exploring monetization tools for creators, a feature that was not available on the original Vine. This initiative aims to support creators as they build audiences and seek to generate income from their content on the platform.
