What exactly are you referring to? Matrix?

There's also IRC

How is IRC decentralized?

Because everyone can spin up their own irc server. It's not federated though.

irc is booring and dated

(even though it's much more robust than matrix and does not suffer from desyncs and stuff)

Not entirely true. IRC can have network splits (I believe they were referred to as netsplits if I remember correctly) where one network can drop out. You can notice this when you see like 50+ people leave a channel at the exact same time because the network they were on disconnected, it's kind of interesting imo lol but also I'm a nerd so maybe that's why I find it interesting.
