Humans are universally terrible at doing this.
IMHO the only hope is to give them two voting axes, so they can placate their lizard-brain's "downvote to disagree" impulse but still apply a separate but positive expository-quality rating. If you only collect the latter kind of rating it won't work.
TL;DR: in addition to thumbs-up/thumbs-down, give people poop-emoji/gold-star. I would hand out a lot of poopy-thumbs-up votes.

- KirillPanov 3y agoSlashdot's system came close, but it only did half of what's necessary. IIRC there were no options where the +number and label disagreed -- they didn't have "+1 Spammy" or "-1 Insightful".
