When Twitter shut down Vine in 2017, volunteer archivists from ArchiveTeam and the Internet Archive preserved a large collection of public videos before deletion.

Divine (which is unaffiliated with Vine or Twitter/X) has imported some of these archived videos and is giving them a permanent home on decentralized media servers. Archived videos are marked with a special badge.

Interesting. Certainly a good way to prefill the platform with some content. I guess it's kinda questionable if you think about ownership, copyright, and the original authors. Depending on how you see it.
