What is the default style of Internet writing?

Tweets and blogs and comments give me similar impressions about that person’s frame of mind

It’s typically first person, but more specific, a distinct flavor. My first thought is it’s like a journal entry
What does that even mean? What is the default style of anything else: say, talking?

Hm I don’t think that actually is as much of a checkmate question as I think. Because I think 90+% of the time I DO talk in a very similar way. I have certain phrasings, etc
I journal a lot and one thing that happened after a few hundred thousand words of it is I got bored of my default “first person introspective narrative” speaking style.

I was writing similar sorts of things because I always came at it the same way https://twitter.com/pendertif/status/1385090890033770497
This is something I don’t do very much or see other people do. Why is this?

I like the normal style just fine. But if you come at writing the same sort of way, won’t you write the same sorts of things? Everything feels very “So I was walking home from work yesterday ...” https://twitter.com/pendertif/status/1385092941513887747
This thread got me thinking about this ; it makes me realize I almost never see fiction on Twitter https://twitter.com/default_friend/status/1385051117617303554
