Into the rightwing grave yard, I look forward to the replacement versions... Maybe we'll get Vine back.

We’ve got https://loops.video/ on the fediverse.

Loops is a fediverse-powered clone but it's nowhere near polished or ready for a TikTok-sized userbase.

I miss Vine. Sad that Twitter strangled it while the memes were still good.

Didn't Musk say that he was going to do that in some way?

He also said Mars would have self-driving cars by 1997.

His statements aren't worth the oxygen.

Yep. That was my point! Musk has it, it's probably not happening.
