there are two different things being said..
govern = a set of key actors setting rules and enforcing rules the masses have to comply with
consensus. a known popularity of best practices, accepted expectations agreed by the masses. a basic standard of rule agreed by the masses

even in a grocery store, there is expected acceptable practices to not just put food in your pocket and walk out. but instead to take it to the cashier and pay for it. which allows the "freedom" to not be chaperoned/governed by employees per visit

this does not mean there are not rules. but where the community understands a set of rules/morals and self governs

some view libertarianism as the outlaw/lawless society of no laws, no punishment, let people do as they please even if it inflicts harm, change on others... to me i dont see libertarian as this.
i also dont see libertarian as allowing representatives to make laws for us to auto-follow, where there is no election or vote
eg, saying devs can slide in protocol changes without consensus is "libertarian" is wrong in my mind

my view is freedom as long as you dont inflict harm, change, loss on another. where the population on mass have a bare minimum set of rules they decide themselves to agree to , a basic etiquette of moral understanding when others are involved set by the whole community agreement. not by some master representation group above the community.
eg barter between two individuals is liberty/freedom, they can agree on whatever value they want
expanding to more population a freemarket of mass individuals coming to an agreement of perceived value is freedom/value
but to say a custodian of users funds is free by libertarian right to abscond with all population funds, is not liberty
