> So I run 'example.com', but only serve (ex:) content via JSON. Allow competing implementations of the API on AWS, Cloudflare, self-hosted, etc.. Then let UIs like Apollo act like an aggregator and an OIDC provider for their users.

Reddit has something like this, but definitely not as intentional,

- https://www.reddit.com/r/all/.json

- https://www.reddit.com/r/all/.rss

- https://www.reddit.com/r/all/.xml

>The only thing Reddit has going for it IMO is the uniform UI across communities and they seem determined to make that a crappy experience from what I've seen.

Old reddit had stylesheets and they could be very interesting. I still prefer that over the current thing they built.
