@pixelfed@loops when will the pixelfed app come onto play store? Also scheduling of posts is needed. Can't wait to try loops. I was too late for #Vine but just in time to try this. #BringBackVine
Please enjoy my painting THE VINE OF LIFE
This painted itself after I meditated & asked for my hand
to be guided. It was completely unplanned & emerged all on its own.
Try tracing the line & you will see that it is one continuous liine.
This is one of my favourite paintings because of the
feeling of Zen I had when I painted it. Owned by a private collector. #art#artist#painting#vineoflife#vine#viriditas#MastoArt#artistsofmastodon#artistsonmastodon@Curator
#SocialMedia#Video#Vine: "Of all the social platforms that sprang up in the 2010s, Vine was the most important. It saw the fastest growth, established itself as a cultural tastemaker, cultivated stars who toured the country to massive audiences, and ushered in the era of mobile video. The app birthed a generation of powerful creators who eventually came to dominate YouTube and the social landscape. Vine was TikTok before TikTok. The company’s only problem was itself.
Vine’s spectacular rise and fall showed the power of online creators. Its demise offers crucial lessons for platforms trying to engage with power users — and a deeper understanding of who ultimately controls a social product.
Founded in June 2012 in New York by three tech entrepreneurs, Dom Hofmann, Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll, Vine was the first mainstream mobile video social platform. The app allowed amateurs to create their own mini masterpieces on their phones with easy-to-use editing tools. And its six-second cap on video length let users share short, unfiltered moments from their lives."
Shutting down Vine was such a disastrously stupid idea that people are still making multi-million-view content over 6 years after it was shut down only by reusing its existing videos
I didn’t have much luck at the weekend with #botanical#photography - it was rainy and I had a lot of work to do. I want to share, nevertheless, a mobile phone photo of the big #Datura inoxia which showed up between the newly planted #vine#plants in our vineyard… It’s unlikely it came with the vine plants as those arrived without soil, and also the Senior said he has seen Daturas growing on our land in different places before, so it seems to be somewhat established here. May I remind you, that’s not the #Mediterranean, that’s the #Elbe Valley in #Saxony, Germany. (Note: reposted.)

It's still fucking WILD that Twitter had probably the idea of the decade with Vine and they just needed to monetize better & allow things longer than 6 seconds and they could have been, you know, TikTok
But instead they genuinely deleted the entire feature.
...and perhaps now the current situation of Twitter makes more sense. Rarely was a good long-term choice made.
P.S. I'd really love a #Fedi version of #Beme (think #Vine, but more authentic).
I can't imagine a video-based Fediverse service, though. That would be a TON of storage, unless it had something like a TTL of 1 hour
OC Pixelfed introduces Loops, a Short-Form Video App (wedistribute.org)
Short-form video might in fact be the next frontier for federated media. The dev behind a popular photo-sharing platform is diving in headfirst.
