I so want to just throw divine.video out to the world, but that's not the responsible thing to do. When I realized it's going to get a lot of attention and use, we had to step back and make sure we had systems in place for it to scale both the servers and trust & safety systems.
We're not ready to launch yet. We found flaws in the way we were detection AI content and some bugs that let users post videos longer than 6 seconds and a few spam related issues. We've got solutions to these issues, but need to implement them.

One of the completions that come up when I search for my name is “… net worth” and sometimes I tap on it to see if the internet knows about some secret reserve of wealth that my conscious mind is unaware of.

Apparently the attention @divine.video is getting is causing people to reach out asking to work for me... which is kind funny, I built divine as a project i could do myself on my own, because i was miserable being a boss who had to tell other people what to do in order to get stuff done.

THIS IS WHY I BUILD DIVINE
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

Well this makes me really wish Apple would approve @divine.video in to the AppStore.... we're stuck with 10k TestFlight users and no more.

I miss Vine. I miss authentic human social media instead of AI slop. Being able to choose who you follow rather than being force fed content by adversarial algorithms. So I built a thing to bring the idea of Vine back.

There are many ways individuals and organizations can resist oppression, including technologists and tech policy advocates, who must use their skills to identify and interrupt the use of technology in service of authoritarianism, writes Tech Policy Press fellow Dia Kayyali.

For fucks sake. @julie-brill.bsky.social managed to completely screw up @audreyt.org’s pronouns while introducing them and then dismissed it by saying “whatever”. @mozilla.org why have someone moderate a #mozfest panel on the main stage who can’t get basic pronouns of trans panelists right?
