Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Is it to late to ask who MrBabyMan is?
MrBabyMan was a user who posted lots of content that made the front page of digg.com, back when it was a hip start up run by Kevin Rose and before it collapsed and most of its users migrated to Reddit. Early on at digg, it was pretty easy to make the front page, but over time it became really difficult and digg kept updating their algorithm to make it harder in an effort to discourage spammers and people gaming the system. However, despite all of this MrBabyMan was always able to get posts to the front page. It was multiple per day if I remember. So MrBabyMan was a power user.
NPR even did a story on him: https://www.npr.org/2008/05/23/90755408/an-internet-tastemaker-diggs-himself-a-hole
