The PLC is being spun out into a separate entity independent of Bluesky. The intention is for it to become something analogous to ICANN. So hopefully, with time, even Bluesky shutting down wouldn’t affect it.

It’s also very simple software and is not difficult to run. People are already running PLC mirrors (e.g. https://plc.wtf/). So if push comes to shove it should be possible to figure out the next step. Although this does require trust and coordination across the ecosystem which is tricky.

See https://updates.microcosm.blue/3lz7nwvh4zc2u for some thoughts on that.
