OMG, this is exactly what I've been thinking about a lot. I keep looking for non-consumer based places to share. Maybe twitter? Mastodon is not as intuitive to use and its a bit freaky who's there. I have been loving the Patreon and even though I get very little feedback, that has been most of my creative career. I think if I want more feedback I need to create a focus group around a certain topic. Right now I'm studying the witch trials and am trying to create accessible access points to this information/history. Maybe we could create these circles in the future? I would be curious if you could describe what it is you are looking for within these virtual spaces.
I think my desires change fairly regularly but I would say with some certainty that I usually turn to social media to feel a sense of community care: to feel connected to other like minded people. I've thought about more curated online spaces as a solution but I'm left with that icky feeling again around monetization and top down hierarchies.

Love your heart for non-hierarchy
It's deeply ingrained in there!
