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 π€’
Crypto powered social media?
Sounds great in paper, in reality it amounts to little more than Twitter with Lightning (Bitcoin) duct-taped to the side
Lightning isn't Bitcoin
Taping Lightning to the side of nostr sucks, but doesn't reduce it to "little more than Twitter"
