You mean Ring is distributed. Matrix and XMPP are decentralized.

  That's true, except for the fact that Matrix and XMPP are also distributed. What I really meant is that it uses a DHT for peer discovery and that the peers communicate directly, without using any central server. It is more distributed and more decentralized.

  You are right, except: - "Peer-to-peer" (Ring, Bleep/BittorentChat) and - "Federated" (Email, Matrix, XMPP/Jabber) ...would be a better way to convey that distinction.
