Nearly a decade after the six-second looping video app shut down, a new one—which is not affiliated with Vine or its former owner Twitter (now X)—dropped more than its croissant into the app store Aug. 20.
Divine's website shared that it "aims to bring back joy and creativity to short-form video," adding that "unlike traditional social media platforms, [it] does not store your data on centralized servers."
"Much like podcasting, this gives content creators full ownership over their content," the company—which launched to the general public nine months after an earlier beta release in November—explained. "No single company controls or can delete your content."
Divine—inspired by the former short-form video app—emphasized its commitment to provide "content that is free from AI slop." It also asserted that unlike TikTok, there is no algorithmic manipulation, meaning users can control their own feeds.
And signing up is easier than chillin' in a hot tub five feet apart. After all, accounts use key pairs through its server, rather than an email or phone number. However, there is no account recovery, so without the private key, access is permanently lost.
Although Divine—which has had more than 100,000 users join since its launch—is not affiliated with Vine or Twitter, the company revealed that its library is on fleek, importing "public Vine videos from archives created by volunteer archivists" and recovering around 170,000 archived clips.
The app's founder and an early Twitter employee, who only goes by the moniker Rabble, reflected on launching his passion project.
"I want to see things that are creative and are human and that are weird," he told CNN. "There's a way in which AI generates this sort of mediocrity."
Vine—which launched the careers of Shawn Mendes, Brittany Furlan and brothers Jake Paul and Logan Paul and more—became a pioneer in the video content space when it was founded in June 2012 by Rus Yusupov, Colin Kroll and Dom Hofmann. It was acquired by Twitter six months later for $30 million, but struggled to compete with other apps like Instagram and ultimately shut down in 2017.
But Vine isn't the only nostalgic online space to return in some form. In fact, Myspace is coming back with the help of site owners Chris Vanderhook and Tim Vanderhook.
"We still own Myspace," Tim said in Tommy Avallone's new documentary Myspace, per People. "We are stewards of the Myspace brand at this point, and we are going to relaunch Myspace. We're just waiting for the right time to do it. And if that one doesn't work, we'll do it again."
While Divine takes Vine's legacy to new heights, keep reading for a closer look at some of the biggest celebs who made their name on social media.

Other times, he's making bank by offering discounts on his own branded makeup products.
"It's a niche market but it's massive," he added. "We're the No. 1 or 2 beauty store."
