A government is imo not bottom-up by my definition. There is no formal “citizens of Rojava” , they are just members of their communes. There is no federal police force.
Just looked that up. It’s absolutely suffering from the things I mentioned, including military conflict with their neighbors.
It’s a place with borders, that hopes to set internal law , and maintain itself. That’s a nation state. It is defined as a “federated semi direct democracy” and has a legislature “Syrian democratic council”

How is a bottom up democracy with federal features not a government? All governments have borders, unless you’re putting a global system
