The person you're replying to is not referring to blocklists between mastodon instances (so for example, having mastodon.org blocking federation between them and cybre.space), but clients preventing you to login to certain instances. I

I had a non-nokia windows phone; the HTC 8X. It was a blast to use the windows phone UI. Everything just felt "right". In addition, even compared to phones today, the HTC 8X was a beauty in my opinion. What killed the experience,

In The Netherlands we have 1 cable provider that has Game of Thrones. So you're either subscribed to that provider, or you're out of luck.

Same thing happened here in The Netherlands. We were in our very own little "Amsterdam Time" which was UTC+00:20 but switched to Berlin Time during the war and we never switched back.

I don't think these are all correct. But i'm not sure if this page will change after the GDPR comes into effect. I'm just taking the Facebook one as an example; it links me to the official download page on Facebook itself. I

The best answer to this would be to try out both using a live USB. You really have to use elementary to see the differences. But as mentioned, it's based on Ubuntu so all apps that run on Ubuntu will also run on elementary. I prefer it
