I'm Autistic and ADHD and struggle a lot with different aspects of communication.
Have you considered accessing supports like seeing a psychologist, a speech therapist, or occupational therapist that works with adults? You've got a pretty clear goal, wanting to communicate more effectively in writing/in online spaces, and spending a few months (or however long) working on that goal with a professional can help you build the skills in that area. I suggest finding a professional because it's not really possible to learn and build communication skills alone, and trying to learn from how people react to you in online spaces hasn't helped, and having someone who actually has your best interest in mind is hopefully going be more helpful than anything else.
Others have highlighted some ideas around reevaluating which communities you spend time in, and while, yeah, sure there are parts of the internet that might be worth reconsidering taking part in, that doesn't really help you engage and connect in the ways you want to. Even otherwise okay online spaces can be really tough for neurodivergent people. I hope you can figure it out
