Meta - should we add a new rule to the sidebar prohibiting single word answers? (lemm.ee)

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?

As long as they answer the OP, they're valid. It's up to others to ask follow up questions, if they want more discussion.
