Like & Dislike
This module adds "like" and "dislike" functionality to Drupal content, similar to social media platforms. It allows users to separately indicate a like or dislike for entities, and administrators can configure which content types will feature these widgets.
This module provides "like" and "dislike" widgets for contents inside Drupal, making it easiers to promote features as the one seem on many social network websites.
Technically speaking, the module provides 2 tags for Voting API, "like" and "dislike", working in a different way from Vote Up/Down, that is like a "plus or minus" approach. Likes are separate from Dislikes here.
How it works
Like/Dislike widget works for any Entity Types and Bundles, and includes a settings page to specify on which bundles the user wants the widgets available(node types, comments, files, users, etc). By default, none of them are available, so it is needed to go at "/admin/config/search/like_and_dislike" and enable the wanted ones.

The module took some initial code and idea from the Like Dislike Buttons.
Migration
For the ones coming from the other module, there should be no special needs to start using this module, as the data structure is handled by Voting API and was not changed.
