Interesting you highlight decentralization.

Zulip has some nice features, but is it decentralized?

It is freely licensed code allowing each organisation to create its own 
little communication island, but I failed to locate how it is federated 
and which standardized protocol it uses, with multiple implementations.

I like XMPP, IRC, Matrix, and SIMPLE - each of which having weaknesses 
but share being federated publicly standardized chat protocols with 
plural implementations of both server and client parts.
