Is there a place I can give review/rating to any random object or service?

Make a community for it! I’d subscribe.

It appears that the dead website that @rotmulaaginskyrim mentioned was not much more sophisticated than what @sub_ubi suggested, “federated reviews”.
web.archive.org/web/…/www.exitreviews.com/

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 (web.archive.org/web/20220608160103/…/submission), and you’d probably want a search system that leverages those fields.

Make a community for it? Or maybe an instance? @federatedreviews.com

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).

For the purpose of?

Venting? Warning? Praise?

Something else?

rotmulaaginskyrim OP , 3 hours ago (edited 3 hours ago)

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?

true, although I can’t be anonymous i guess. And i can’t post about places that are closed, and I can’t post reviews about products that are no longer sold
