From my archives:

Thought— The concepts of federation and decentralization can be complimentary, but are not interchangeable.

Federation speaks to the ability to move between nodes— data, content, identities.

Decentralization speaks to power and authority over both tech and people.

I made this little social media compass to illustration the two concepts.
