"Don't engage, just block," to trolls, sea lions, bigots and anyone else whose purpose on the site appears to be to make others as unhappy as they are. Also, you don't have to wait for these folks to be unpleasant to you directly; when you see them treat others terribly, that's when to cut them out.
UPDATED POLL for those who have been enjoying Bluesky: What are YOUR top pieces of advice for those new to the platform?
My advice: Instead of "Sigh, yet another new social media platform," try to think "Yay, clean slate! What can I do differently here to create a social media experience I ENJOY?"

So I just learned that there's a 1909 Lincoln cent on Mars.
It's attached to the calibration target on the Curiosity rover. It has Martian dust on it.
