Not 100% but I learned that it's bad form because "out" subsumes "over" so saying them together is redundant.

The linked page very clearly states they are opposites. Over indicates an expectation for response, out does the opposite.

Not just redundant. "Over" means you're done talking now, so you shouldn't say anything else afterwards, even "and out".
