I don't think all full stops in texts are passive-aggressive. I think it's fine if you use one and then do another sentence and just don't put one at the end, like this
I'm not a fan of this line of thinking. I think the above looks sloppy and unfinished, even though I used correct pronunciation throughout, and just left off the full-stop at the end. But, I think that's the format OP is getting at, and the full stop after "passive-aggressive" isn't what's passive-aggressive; it would be the one after "like this" if it were there.
I'm not great at texting. I used to not like texting Android users, not because of green bubbles (IMO green > blue, hue wise), but because I wasn't sure how the text would come across. Because SMS has a limit of 140 characters or something. iMessage doesn't. Neither does RCS, so, when texting an Android user, if it says RCS, I know it's gonna look right. I think most Android phones receive the text in multiple parts, but they know to put it together so it looks good for the user. As opposed to texting, say, flip phones, which don't do anything and it comes through in parts.
I suppose you can gather why I don't use Twitter (or its lookalikes).
