Farcaster

is any sufficiently decentralized protocol by definition also credibly neutral?

I think not

no
it's very likely that there is at least 1 large group that either can't afford or is not interested to participate

the choice of protocol in itself is some sort of a bias

At all.. they have different protocols even by definition 

Credible neutrality requires additional layers of impartiality beyond just decentralization
