Reasons to Ditch Mastodon, Gab and Getter For Sayches

Reasons to Ditch Mastodon, Gab and Getter For Sayches
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Social media is an omnipresent part of modern life and is essential for both socializing and networking in the social landscape of today. However, strict regulations, privacy rules and cancel culture have made platforms such as Twitter and Facebook problematic. New social media alternatives such as Mastodon, Gab and Gettr have attempted to step in with new approaches, but each platform has faced some serious pitfalls.

Enter Sayches – an online microblogging social media platform that focuses on freedom of speech, ephemeral content and anonymity. You might be wondering what makes Sayches stand out from the rest of these social networks – we’re going to be answering this and more, so read on to find out.

Sayches Vs. Mastodon: Abolishing Echo Chambers

Mastodon is a decentralized social media platform that claims to create safe spaces for communities to discuss issues and express opinions. Whilst the platform does present a microblogging alternative to the censorship nightmare that is Twitter, it has taken a very different approach by siloing each community into segregated communities. Whilst this certainly reduces friction on the platform, it completely defeats the point of ‘social’ networks, with users only being able to socialize within a chatroom-like social bubble.

However, there is an even larger problem at play – Mastodon is based around the federated communication protocol ActivityPub, a heinously inefficient system with bad security and expensive operation fees. Whilst the open-source nature of federation networks come with good intentions, this also, unfortunately, results in the network requires an extensive understanding of computer science including server management experience. Ultimately, this makes it difficult for the average social media to use a platform such as Mastodon, yet again moving the platform away from being particularly ‘social’.

Sayches presents another microblogging alternative to Twitter, but without the decentralized approach. The company believe that the issues found in social media giants today should never be solved in a way that segregates communities, compromises accessibility or restricts the average person from socializing on the service.

Sayches Vs. Gettr: Acting Against Bias and Corruption

With many Facebook and Twitter users being banned due to controversial opinions, many people have sought refuge in social media platforms that facilitate the free flow of information online, without compromise. Both Gettr and Sayches claim to promote free speech, but with Gab there is a catch – the platform is run by the former Donald Trump spokesman Jason Miller and targeted specifically towards American conservatives.

Whilst Sayches certainly allows for political conversation and provides a safe haven for politicians to express their thoughts without repercussions, the platform prides itself in being unbiased, and being run by politicians has huge potential for bias. The world of politics is full of corruption, so Gettr presents a serious problem – how can users trust the information on the site when politicians could use it to push their agenda?

Sayches Vs. Gab: Protecting Data, Privacy and Security

Anonymity and security of personal data are essential in solving the modern issues of social media, and this is something that Gab claimed to solve. However, this was quickly proven wrong when tens of thousands of email addresses and other user data points were leaked in mid-2021. How can a website guarantee the abolishment of cancel culture and guarantee freedom of speech with such fragile data infrastructure?

Sayches has designed its entire platform to ensure that personal data breaches are an impossibility. By allowing users to post anonymously and even access the platform through the ultra-secure Tor Network, users can guarantee the security of their data, even in the event of the network being hacked.

Final Thoughts

Whilst it’s great to see a variety of new social media platforms arising to tackle issues of censorship, freedom of speech and privacy, existing platforms such as Mastodon, Gab and Gettr have a long way to go. However, Sayches presents itself as a social network that recognizes these pitfalls and aims to solve them. Whilst the platform is still young and only in beta testing stages, the infrastructural design of the site makes it clear that user privacy and freedom of speech will be protected, whilst approaching the network from an open and un-siloed approach.

The cannabidiol industry has been booming due to its various health benefits, which the consumer can enjoy in a regularised dosage. This dosage depends on many factors, including the concentration of THC, a psychotropic cousin of CBD in the extracts. However, due to legal restrictions, the concentration is controlled within the range of 0.3% of the concentration of THC or traces of THC. However, concentrated oil forms of cannabidiols have been reported to treat consumers with health benefits with fewer risks for medical conditions. CBD effects and workings for Fibromyalgia Due to the legal status of the substance and certain other factors, there is a lack of proper studies regarding the reaction of the substance to the consumer's body. This has been the main reason for researchers' inability to solidify the substance's exact reason and reaction regarding treating pain disorders. There have been reviews during 2020 that the studies are limited yet cannabis can provide benefitting the consumers. Reports suggest that lack of endocannabinoids is the root cause for any pain syndrome, including migraine and Fibromyalgia. However, the analgesic properties in the essential oils of NuLeaf Naturals CBD extracts have resulted in treating various pain-related problems, including the effects of Fibromyalgia. The Dutch study of 2019 Photo by Piron Guillaume on Unsplash In 2019, Dutch research was conducted to determine the effects of Fibromyalgia with the administration of CBD. The research included the involvement of 20 women who were suffering from Fibromyalgia. The research was done by administering four types of cannabis which were: · 200 mg of a cannabis variant with high amounts of both Cannabidiol and THC. The product that was used is known as Biol · 100 mg of a variety of cannabis that has low amounts of Cannabidiol and high amounts of THC, known as Bedrocan · 200 mg of a cannabis variant that has low amounts of THC and high amounts of Cannabidiol, known as Bedrolite · A variety of placebo does not contain either THC or CBD. However, the dosage of this is unspecified. This research clearly showed that women who consumed the placebo variety rendered similar spontaneous pain scores with the non-placebo varieties. However, Bedrocan or Bediol has an improved pressure pain threshold if compared with the placebo variants. One of the main reasons behind this is a high concentration of THC in the products. On the other hand, Biol, which is high in both THC and Cannabidiol, brought a sense of relief to a greater number than the placebo. There was a 30% reduction in spontaneous pain in 18 of the 20 participants, while the placebo relieved about 11 out of the 20 participants. The Israeli Study of 2019 Photo by Lucas Vasques on Unsplash There was an Israeli study conducted in 2019 that included a hundred people, 82% of them being women. This study was conducted for six months. However, before starting the experiments, the administering supervisors were provided instructions regarding the 14 types of cannabis variants included in the study, their dosage mechanism and delivery methods. The dosage was increased with time which showed positive effects on the consumers. However, the percentage of the participants experiencing pain was reduced from 52.5% to a mere 7.9% after completing the study. The abovementioned studies have been pioneering in deeming cannabis or CBD as a trusted source in treating Fibromyalgia. Both studies showed significant improvement in the pain management of the people suffering from this disorder. With the legal situation improving, newer and frequent studies have been introduced to determine the effects. With more and more studies, the substance has the full potential to be the most popular element in the alternate medicine fraternity.
