So back in 2006 and 2007 I remember seeing @blaine.bsky.social work so damned hard to keep the twitter servers up and keep away the fail whale... well divine is having server problems, i think we fixed them for now, but i needed our mascot for an offline server... why not fabulous Divine herself?

This part has me so excited! Proofmode means we can cryptographically verify the video was shot on a real phone with it's camera. It's the first line of defense against AI Slop on divine. divine.video/proofmode

In addition to creating divine.video, @rabble.nz (me talking weirdly in the third person) has a podcast where they dig in to how do we make social media better.

I've pushed up a release, 1.0 v104. If you're in TestFlight for divine, please go in and update it and test it for us... thanks... for bugs send them here or [email protected]

I've pushed out testflight build 1.0 v 104 with a bunch of fixes. If you're in testflight please try it out and give me feedback.

Divine is built on the idea that we all should demand basic rights when it comes to social media. They're laid out in rights.social

This is crazy.

TMZ posted about us. That's bonkers. We're stuck in an airplane over the north atlantic flying from Websummit to SF... trying to put out a new release on airplane wifi. www.instagram.com/p/DRBKr1yGCOv/

I nearly missed my flight to SF because I was trying to get one more bug fixed and the android build of divine working. There’s a build sitting on my Mac mini which might work. Anyone want to take bets on TAP’s inflight wifi being good enough to upload a 300mb APK file?

Nothing like getting 10,000 enthusiastic testers to figure out which bugs are most critical to fix.

Announcing divine.video at websummit today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qfs...

Folks seem excited.

And TestFlight is full... so we'll not be able to add new ios beta testers until apple approves our app store submission

We've had 8000 people install the app in the last 3 hours... We're getting close to our limit of 10k for testflight.

Wow. People are actually using the app.

Curious about what we’re trying to do with the Vine revival? divine.video/faq

We’ve had 2000 people join TestFlight in the last couple of hours. Apple caps it at 10k. Once we hit that then we’ll have to wait for the AppStore approval to let more people join. That might take a day or two. For Android we can release directly while waiting for play store approval.

We're trying to revive the original dream of Vine. techcrunch.com/2025/11/12/j...

We've brought back the vines: divine.video
