I've been wanting to check out Mastodon and a good app helps me be more engaged. My issue is that there are lots of interesting apps so I don't which one to pick! Which one do you like and why?...
Megalodon! It's an open source fork of the official Mastodon app, but with extra features. The latest update even has threaded replies. Get it on F-droid or the store.
I think this is the logical pragmatic take. They'll start on day 1 with more users than the entirety of the fediverse. Defederating just allows them to ignore us and pretend they own the fediverse. We should at least try to win over those users and prevent FB adware software overtaking Mastodon as the dominant fediverse platform.

I think kbin has an opportunity to address the toxicity. The anonymous nature of Reddit really lends itself to faceless road rage culture where people feel safe behind their keyboard. If kbin can really push itself as a Mastodon + Reddit platform where everyone has social connections, then maybe it takes away some of that anonymous feeling.
Remember: The early bird gets the worm...
Personally I prefer to sleep in until there's waffles.
What app do you use for Mastodon?

Kev Quirk, one of the admins of Fosstodon (a Mastodon instance), destroys Meta in an email exchange. (fosstodon.org)
The exchange is about Meta's upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!
