I was more of [than] disappointed.

I was more of disappointed.
I was more than disappointed.

I have seen both sentences and more of and more than here function as an adverb and is there a meaning difference between them? If so, what is the meaning difference?

Thank you so much as usual in advance.

"more of" is normally followed by a noun, not an adjective, and usually requires a comparison.

It was more of a joke than an insult.
