I know Reddit, Lemmy and most link aggregators use an upvote and downvote system. I am not against this and am not suggesting to remove it.

Perhaps have both displayed, It will show the upvote/downvote count and also the total likes and dislikes on a post or comment.

Or have a setting to enable Like/Dislikes and instead it will show the total likes and total dislikes on a post or comment instead of a upvote/downvote. If it is a setting, the instance can choose weather to display upvotes/downvotes or likes/dislikes by default.
