Node connectivity isn't the entire story. It can happen in several ways. Here's three ways networks can connect with each other:
1. Centralized: where one authoritative node facilitates the connectivity of all other nodes, making all decisions regarding connectivity
2. Decentralized: all nodes are connected to each other, with no singular authority, each node making autonomous decisions about who it connects with
3. Distributed: All nodes are connected to each other, with singular authority being collective, each node acting in sync with all others -- often as a "mesh"
Of these three models, the Fediverse is decentralized at the node level.
