I disagree.
I think the medium shapes the message and we now have a lot of mediums that people use that incentivize trite, shallow, negative, outrageous, and even simply false information over other information.
Twitter is a good example of that.

Most probably you would start with, “Yes, but...” or “I agree, but ...” or “That's true to some extent, but in addition to that ...”.
Further I believe you get the "I disagree" on platforms where you know one another.
Alternatives:
1) Yes, but from the perspective of the user.... (beating about the bush)
2) You are retarded and probably shouldn't breed (we know what forums harbour this communication style)
Gentlewomen and men can disagree and still keep talking gently!
I do that in in-person conversations all the time. Although I'm probably more blunt than most.
I disagree.
Here is why.
Rather than someone just rambling on about something that might be just talking outloud and you miss what they think actually the difference is or that there is one.
This reminds me of an Abraham Lincoln story (I think I read it in How to Win Friends and Influence People)...anyway Lincoln used to pen anonymous writings attacking people, and in one instance he was found out and challenged to a duel. The men squared off with long swords but called a truce prior to the start...Lincoln never penned a negative thing about a person again.
What leads you to think that? This has been a common way to respond in substantive real-world discussions for my entire life, even predating the internet.
"I disagree" is not, after all, some sort of attack or insult.
