IRC, FTP, and SMTP are all decentralized. That's the good part about them.

If IRC is decentralised, then so is Slack and all it's clones. Except they're not.

Not only that, but it didn't require nearly as much bandwidth. AFAIK, most "modern" web services today would not be usable over a dial-up speed connection.
