Hopefully the service can aggregate such ratings too, across all of its users.
For the purpose of?
Venting? Warning? Praise?
Something else?
Partly for my own tracking in the future, and partly to see what other people think of those items/services too.
Other than your own blog? AFAIK not really. For most services, Yelp? For most products, Amazon?
federated reviews
There used to be a website called exitreviews.com but it redirects to looria.com now, which is an actual company and I can’t tell if there’s bias or not.
It used to be intended for reviewing any product (usually upon failure).
It appears that the dead website that @rotmulaaginskyrim@programming.dev mentioned was not much more sophisticated than what @sub_ubi@lemmy.ml suggested, “federated reviews”.

Nothing is stopping you from creating a Lemmy community for general product/service reviews, but I doubt it would work very well nor be very popular. But ActivityPub-based federated reviews sounds like an intriguing idea. I don’t know if/how ActivityPub can handle structured fields (https://web.archive.org/web/20220608160103/https://www.exitreviews.com/submission), and you’d probably want a search system that leverages those fields.
