#getchar — Public Fediverse posts

Why do some functions return to main() with a newline, even though I am using getchar() to get rid of it?

Is there perhaps some other, better way to do it? Perhaps one with which clang doesn’t give me “unused result” warnings?

MODS: If you deem it inappropirate for me to continuously ask for guidance here, please let me know. 😊
