I like Pillowfort for that reason; the community knows that it's smaller, so it's almost like we know that if we want interactions, we have to interact also. Twitter and Tumblr are so huge now that it's easy to fall into the trap of "Well, someone else can rt or reply, I'm scrolling on"; but for smaller places like pfio, we know how much every interaction counts. I love how much more comfortable it is to be there!
From an audience standpoint, I prefer giving support via Ko-fi than Patreon, myself. I have so many recurring monthly subscriptions that I can't really bring myself to add one, two, or seven Patreon supports to my bills. So even if I would like to support someone or they have Patreon-only content I'd like to see, I just don't want to commit to that when I have so many other monthlies going on. So I love it when you and other artists I love have a Ko-fi linked, because I know I can support anyway, even irregularly :')
