Written communication can come across as cold and impolite, even when this isn't really the writer's intent. People often forget to use basic manners and niceties online. Or they leave them out intentionally because it seems superfluous, or because they want to mimic the tone they see. But this has a cost. It's human nature to want to be acknowledged, and to be surrounded by kindness rather than coldness. It's amazing how far a simple gesture like a "thanks" or a "nice job" can go. My only advice would be to pay attention to your own communication style. You may be able to influence others by communicating in the same way that you appreciate.
