      Giving preferential treatment to one service provider over another is 100% a net neutrality issue.

          I was thinking about this the other day. Because Lemmy instances keep defederating from each other, I don’t really experience Lemmy. I experience a fragment of Lemmy as determined by the admins of the instance I’m connected to.

          Even if I run my own instance, I guess there’s nothing stopping instances from defederating from me (or just refusing to federate to begin with because my instance is too small to bother with).

          Is there even a way to experience all of Lemmy, including spam and things some people don’t agree with?

        Net neutrality is about internet access and connectivity, not about what websites can do

        (but yes they’re still hypocritical)
