It really grinds my gears when there’s an c/asklemmy question and the top most responses are single word answers.

For example, a question asking for the most mind-bending movie will often have the same few movies upvoted to the top (“The Matrix”, “Inception”, “Finding Nemo 2”, etc).

Those truly might be the most popular mind-bending movies, but what I really want to know is why the person answering the question feels the way that they do. Otherwise these types of questions can become stale very quickly, as can be seen on other platforms.

Thoughts?

    That’s what the button is for (not a “I disagree”).

    You know, maybe we just need more than one button.

    “Does not contribute to the discussion”, “I disagree”, “I don’t necessarily disagree but this person aligns to a different political ideology and therefore I feel the need to object to their presence in some way”…
