It's partly that there is only one way to express oneself in an online textual
conversation. With text. If 2 people are loudly and annoyingly having a (intimate) conversation on say the bus, others around can use looks, physicality etc to communicate around them creating a shared parallel experience ce of WTF.
However with no way to do that online just encourages text, joining in the conversation.
Perhaps there are alternatives with avatars, GUIs etc.
- dredmorbius 3y agoIn intimate conversation —a case where both or all parties in the same space and time — there are additional ample side-channels for subtexts to be communicated, including both conflict-diminishing and conflict-escallating ones. From TFA, 5th paragraph, by some counts. And yes, I frequently read without comprehension, scan quickly, or misinterpret as well. The problems I'm describing seem to be universally, or at the very least quite broadly distributed.
