I think we may all getting worse at "yes, and"-ing as a result of being Very Online. It's possible to frame a conclusion that is coherent with or even implied by the original message as a disagreement or one-up, but why? Maybe a pointless scuffle feels better than no engagement
One thing that's interesting is that the difference between something that *just feels* like snipey one-upsmanship vs. a productive "yes, and" is subtle. "Hmm. There is also..." vs. "Yes! I also notice..." or even subtler, "Note that..." vs. "Isn't it crazy how...?"
I wonder how NLP sentiment work varies from transcribed in-person conversations to discussions online. I don't think the same tags ("yes," "hmm," "note that," etc.) work quite the same way across contexts
Part of it is probably just that all the layers of in-person interaction (content + tone + body language, etc.) plus the richness of in-person relationship history means that there are a lot of kinds of nuance that are both less present and sometimes *forced to collapse* in text
I mean, I *know* that people have been talking about how easy it is to misinterpret intent from text for ages... but I also think we've possibly been trained by way of low-resolution text tools to *start* with less emotional range when we're dealing with Internet People.
