I’m not sure about this. How do you decide which qualities users can rate? How do you ensure those qualities work across instances with different languages / cultures? You’re also taking something which is extremely low effort and making it take significantly more time and effort. I think the simplicity, universality, and low effort of upvote / downvote are all strengths.
