To be honest, when I first joined and was using the Stack Exchange network it was a particular community (the Raspberry Pi site) that drew me in as I had bought one of the ~beasties~beasties (Ooops, that more accurately refers to FreeBSD - which Unix & Linux has been helpful for) devices and was seeking out advice and information. However over time that pursuit has waned, yet for several years Winter/Summer Bash pulled me back into visiting the communities.
Now, though, with some (because I haven't been around much to catch all I suspect) of the "upsets" that have occurred around here, my response to a future devoid of festive headwear is sadly now a resounding, meh! I mean, I probably won't even try to kindle a small spark of festive interest in SE at the end of 2023—sadly I suspect I won't be the only one.
