Mastodon.social has no advantages at all over any other server. It has no special status or special 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.
If you want help choosing a good reliable server, have a look at https://fedi.garden
Mastodon.social is not a good way to join Mastodon. If you’re already on it, you might want to move your account to a different Mastodon server. | Fedi.Tips – An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse

@tante It's not even funny.
Ich habe neulich im Gespräch mit C-Suite-Leuten aus dem Bereich Versicherung festgestellt, dass so eine Art kollektiver Brain-Freeze zu bestehen scheint. Da war man sich einig, dass ChatGPT ja noch ganz neu sei. Auf die Frage, wann es erstmals freigegeben wurde: Betretenes Schweigen, Schätzung: Vorletztes Jahr (also 2024).
Es ist 2026 und ChatGPT ist von Nov. 2022. Und NICHTS ist wirklich besser geworden außer die nVidia-Margen.
Und 2025 war das Jahr der Agents...

Die Hamburger Bürgerschaft hat soeben für einen Antrag für ein #AfDVerbot gestimmt.
Die Hamburger Regierung wird ersucht, sofern das Verwaltungsgericht Köln die Einstufung der AfD als gesichert rechtsextrem bestätigt, sich für die Einrichtung einer Bund Länder-Arbeitsgruppe 1/2
@TillausEimsbuettelTill Steffen Die sollen nicht eine Arbeitsgruppe zum prüfen bilden, die sollen einfach den Verbotsantrag stellen. Prüfen tut das dann das Verfassungsgericht. Das ist doch auch nur wieder eine Beruhigungspille.

It's an oldie, but reminder that the perfect machine has already been invented and we're now just coloring stuff in around the edges.
返日本之前兩家人一齊坐埋食咗餐飯，恨孫恨到流晒口水嘅老母喺席間開我大拖，話如果下次唔帶多個返嚟就唔使再返嚟。
老實已經被佢勒索到無咩感覺，知道點講都好佢都唔會改變，就係仔女必須要如佢嘅願做人，但喺另一半父母面前咁俾佢爆著實難堪，難為對方父母都好努力去講說話幫手打圓場，但家母嗰種全天下佢大撚晒嘅態度仍然依舊。
感動嘅係第二日我收到伯友一封好長嘅msg，除咗勸我唔好嬲阿媽，亦都講咗好多說話去安慰我，我估佢都睇得出嗰晚我有幾尷尬。
忽然諗起唔想生細路嘅人大多數都唔多想出世，伯友識咗我之後呢十幾年周不時同我講，有時我會諗如果你係我生嘅咁你話幾好。咁多年嚟父母都唔記得我生日，唯有佢年年準時送上祝福，我打電話俾佢傾偈仲多過搵我父母傾偈。
原生家庭係點無得選擇，但有時回望，我覺得自己仍然係幸運，因為我後來遇上嘅好多人都俾咗好多好意同愛俾我。人去數自己無啲咩可以數到下世都未數完，我數口唔叻，我鍾意數自己擁有啲乜，有時都覺得自己幸運值都叫點好點滿，因為遇到好多好人。

Pebble launched a smartwatch in the 2010s, received VC funding, grew to hundreds of employees and then sold to Fitbit in 2016. Bye-bye Pebble. Now, it's back, self-funded with a staff of five, and under the control of its original founder, Eric Migicovsky. 
@ieeespectrum talked to him about the the three new Pebble wearables, e-paper, open-sourcing, AI and more. “I just love the idea of a fun device that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I love looking forward to gadgets. So, we’re just going to build gadgets that we love,” says Migicovsky.
WaPo reports:
"The FBI executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials."
"The reporter, Hannah Natanson, was at her home in Virginia at the time of the search. Federal agents searched her home and her devices, seizing her phone, two laptops and a Garmin watch. One of the laptops was her personal computer, the other a Washington Post-issued laptop."
"It is exceptionally rare for law enforcement officials to conduct searches at reporters’ homes. Federal regulations intended to protect a free press are designed to make it difficult to use aggressive law enforcement tactics against reporters to obtain the identities of their sources or information."
