Every communication channel is different, has its own purpose and scope. I don’t think full imitation/ substitution is possible or needed. I never thought of typing hints as a dark pattern as well. Tbh I always thought about this thing as a curiosity not as something that has impact on quality snd/or effectiveness of communication. But I also usually don’t sit and look at how someone is typing a reply to me. The only thing I’d say, when I do observe as someone is typing a reply to me, signals I get: longevity / time , interruptions in typing - that’s how I know whether a person actually puts real effort into verbalizing what he/she wants to tell me. Also I really like situations when someone is typing a reply for a longer time but then doesn’t send it. It’s the biggest signal possible if you think about it. not everything that is on somebody’s mind should be and needs to be communicated, for different reasons . so it means a person actually cares about the other person and puts effort in the process of communication , and in this particular situation a person re-considered and spared me something that I don’t need to know anyway . Generally speaking easiness of communicating and “sharing” although is generally a good thing and spread innovation and progress, had a negative impact as well - we don’t do cost/benefit analysis of what we about to say/share anymore 😀 bc it doesn’t cost anything now (paper, ink, electricity/candles 😀, cost and time of delivery) , as a result we post Everything 🤦‍♀️ . Last sentence doesn’t have anything to do with your question , apologies.
