What categories did you have in mind? I'm thinking "This post is harmful," "I disagree," and "I don't like you." Of these, I think only the first is really something you'd want a button for. It seems to me that anytime I would hit a disagree button, I could more usefully make a reply, or simply agree with someone else's reply. And "I don't like you" seems awfully mean, although I guess it might serve some purpose.
"I disagree" might be split into subcategories (e.g. "fallacious") to not leave people guessing, like I've been left when I've received mystery downvotes. But on thinking about it, posts that get downvoted for wrongess don't generally have a single reason for it, and downvotes might be categorized falsely if there's some social reason.
So I revise my earlier prognostication - mo' categories is maybe not mo' better.
