Not sure what instances your chosen communities live on, but lemmy is very much alive for me

And there's a solid 50% chance that I will not answer that call

I mean, sometimes my wife has thrown something extra smelly in the garbage while cooking and wants me to take the quarter-full bag out so the house doesn't reek.

I should absolutely be asked to take the trash out in that case, and she shouldn't need a whole story for said request. She frequently does because that's just her communication style. Lots of extras. Mucho frustrating for me.

But it's probably just an example for illustration.

Well the challenge with that is avoiding making the articles stale for the wider public, given that the news typically focuses on current events. An article about, say, the negotiations to avoid the impending US government shutdown would be stale by the time it gets to the general public under such a model, so then we're effectively back to the hated paywall to get the information in a useful timeframe.
