Mastodon.social has no advantages over any other Mastodon server. It has no special status or privileges, it uses exactly the same software as other Mastodon servers.

In fact I'd strongly advise people
NOT to sign up on mastodon.social, here are the reasons why: https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server

TL:DR - It's far far too big, it's putting the entire decentralised nature of the Fediverse in danger.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services the ultimate in decentralisation would be everyone runs their own instance with only one user

That was attempted by various distributed networks, maybe most famously Scuttlebutt.

However, the current structure of the internet apparently made this very difficult and they still had to use multiuser instances called "pubs" so people could discover others to follow.

One of the most prominent Scuttlebutt projects was
@manyver_se@fosstodon.org but it seems to be dormant now.
