What are your best SW hacks?

I log back in to see how my old SW friends are doing once or twice a year. Sometimes I connect and stick around for a bit. Other times I drift away more quickly. Do you have anything you do that helps you stay engaged and connected here? Maybe something about how you set up your feed? Or anything else? I would love whatever tips you might have.

Don't take much of the banter seriously
Do what helps you have a more pleasant time; if that means blocking a harasser, then do so.
You get to choose whom you engage with, and nobody has an automatic right to you.
I take short breaks from time to time.
On EP, I was once known for disengaging and coming back, but finally realized this didn't solve very much, and I missed the interaction here.

@Justmeraeagain I take long breaks for 6+ months. Then I burn out again. I can only ever seem to do this place in short bursts.
