It's not federated, just easy to self host and point custom clients at.
That's too bad, that's a hard line for me, it has to have the option of federation.
Also, so it's a direct server, so it is centralized, there's nothing decentralized about it
It is decentralized in the respect that communities run their own servers, in comparison to discord where there is an overarching corporation managing everything
But that's not decentralized. It's the same as discord, only instead of a corporation now you have a server admin.
Are you sure? Because they also seem to be behind Fermi which sounds federated
Fermi is just a custom client for discord/spacebar. It's not federated.
