Many have hoped that Bluesky decentralizes DID-PLC & https://plc.directory , or replace it with something decentralized.

And, I do think the Bluesky founders want to fix this — "plc" is short for "placeholder" after all.

But, it isn't decentralized yet.

Interestingly...

Interestingly, the Fediverse already has a decentralized equivalent to https://plc.directory .

On the Fediverse it is where a Fediverse ID:

＠joeblow＠example·com

Is resolved using WebFinger:

https;//example·com/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:joeblow＠example·com

Which points you to the activity page:

https;//example·com/users/joeblow

Which returns the activity actor JSON-LD.

(BTW, plc.directory also returns JSON-LD)

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/users/reiver/statuses/116117984766885105 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
