I mean we're almost there with some of these protocols... It doesn't even need a policing body, as long as the small parties are willing to kick out the corpos by not collaborating or federating. But as the recent debate about Meta has shown, that's not the case.
I wouldn’t want the FSF with its own little politics having any kind of power over information distribution.
Just look at the problems they’re causing with their GNU/Linux moniker nobody except Debian is using. With power handed to them, they’d probably kick everyone off who leaves out the GNU/-part, even though it’s debatable whether it’s really appropriate these days.
The only true bottle neck to hosting your own web content is access to the internet itself. And that's a really complicated can of worms to work around and basically be your own ISP. What good would an entirely new protocol be?
