Federation is a form of decentralization.

  Also you can host a completely isolated matrix server, that does not connect to "the Matrix network"

  For example, every client could choose to run its own server to have a perfectly decentralized network. Federation is a feature that allows for greater than 1:1 mapping between clients and servers.

  No, decentralization is invented alongside the blockchain and nothing without a blockchain is decentralized. :)

    No, you don't need a blockchain for decentralization. Also, you don't need a blockchain[0]. [0]: https://thomaslarock.com/2018/11/no-you-dont-need-a-blockchain/ https://thomaslarock.com/2018/11/no-you-dont-need-a-blockcha...

        Gosh, I did miss it actually, my bad. Mild autism, I suppose, I often take words literally, esp. when there are no facial/voice tone cues.
