For a moment back there, Vine was the most fun place on the internet. The video sharing platform, which allowed looping videos of up to 6 seconds, was a haven for absurd humour, in a time before TikTok and Reels came along to infest our feeds with ads and slop. When the app shut down in 2017, it seemed like the end – but, in my favourite internet plot twist of 2025, it's back.
According to several reports, Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter, is resurrecting Vine. And while it might feature a stupid new name, diVine, it does come with over 150,000 archived Vine clips reinstated. And best of all, AI is banned. Is this the Twitter alternative we've been waiting for?
