Comment on Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive

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 🤢

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

You’re saying you hate piefed for not being like 4chan and actually using encryption for users to log into specific accounts before posting?

  Colloquially crypto means crypto currencies or NFTs like bitcoin, not normal encryption.

    Right, and the point is that nostr isn’t “crypto-powered” by that colloquial definition. It is “crypto-powered” in that it uses encryption though.

Crypto powered social media?

  Plus, because it’s built on Nostr, a decentralized protocol favored by Dorsey, and is open source, developers can set up and create their own apps and run their own hosts, relays, and media servers.
  
  Sounds great in paper, in reality it amounts to little more than Twitter with Lightning (Bitcoin) duct-taped to it

    I don’t think that’s entirely fair; the Nostr protocol has a modular design philosophy, with most components being optional addons, including the Bitcoin payments stuff. It’s genuinely decentralized and explicitly made to be easy to not use any baggage you don’t like.
    
    It’s unclear from the article if the use of the protocol will also mean overlap with the content and community of Nostr, which is understandable to criticize, but the protocol itself is just another take on decentralized social media that does things differently than activitypub.

    What makes Nostr like Bitcoin?

    The protocol was built to exchange cryptocurrency over it. Today, basically nobody uses it except for cryptocurrency shills.

    Lightning isn’t Bitcoin
    
    Taping Lightning to the side of nostr sucks, but doesn’t reduce it to “little more than Twitter”

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.

  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)
