You make it seem like the problem is of technical nature (instead of regulatory or other). Would you mind explaining why?
Technical alternatives already exist, see for example GNUnet.

Problem is that as soon as some technology takes traction, it catches the attention of businesses, and there is where the slow but steady enshittification process begins. Not that business necessarily equals enshittification, but in a world dominated by capitalism without borders soon or later someone will break some unwritten rules and others will have to follow to remain competitive, until that new technology will become a new web, and we'll be back to square one. To me the problem isn't technical, as isn't its solution.
I'm interested to see how this will work with something like Mastodon.
Since Mastodon is, fundamentally, a protocol and reference implementation, people can come up with their own enshittified nodes or clients... And then the rest of the ecosystem can respond by just ignoring that work.
Yes, technically Truth Social is a Mastodon node. My Mastodon node doesn't have to care.
