The 'Fork Off' Test

One of the big reasons decentralization matters is the 'fork off' test that #Bluesky CEO Jay Graber memorialized in her 'No Caesars' marketing blitz (https://observer.com/2025/03/bluesky-ceo-jay-graber-wants-world-without-caesars/). Simply stated, what's the mobility within the network should any one member be lost, become evil or otherwise corrupted?

Can you really move?
