\> I know asking for help is often unpopular in Reddit

Since when?

\> Everyone's welcome! Even Windows C++ developers.

On a UNIX/BSD and C Discord? Makes no sense at all.

Why would you want to be unwelcome towards anybody.
They might be there to learn different paradigms or any of the other
thousand personal reasons.

Why would Windows and C++ developers come to a UNIX/BSD and C Q&A
site? Sure, they may come to learn but it's strange to openly invite
such people to a topic they show no interest in. It would be like
inviting circus clowns. What's the point?

There's a difference between allowing outsiders and inviting
outsiders.

Does it let me connect via IRC? :p

I established a Unix Discord server just about a year ago. You might
see the following: Massive intake of members out of which maybe 5 are
active after the initial month.

I just invite people now on a have-we-had-a-productive-exchange basis.
Good luck with your server.

Discord is proprietary spyware. No thanks

In response to a post on r/C_Programming asking "Why are some C
developers so nasty when others ask for help?", /u/FUZxxl wrote [a

Oh hey, I totally forgot about having written that one.

Unfortunately, it hasn't gotten any better.  It's the eternal
September all over again.

You're the same guy who posted yesterday [here](https://www.reddit.com
/r/unix/comments/gikcqs/a_unix_c_discord/).  The message is still the
same, dude: Discord isn't popular among the *nix communities in
general.

Also, people ask for help very often on Reddit.  It's why
/r/linuxquestions and /r/linux4noobs exist, and all of the BSD subs
are great at answering questions.  You're basing the need for a
Discord server on a false premise.

Still proprietary. Still spyware.
