There's an interesting dynamic that can only happen in multimodal online communications: Sometimes, you send a text DM and the other person replies with a voicemail, to which you send another text, and they reply with another voicemail, etc. I'm not aware of that happening in any other media.

@mpt good point, but that’s a different dynamic because it’s broadcast media. That implies different scope and power dynamics. I was talking about DMs, which are one-on-one (or small group) communications.
