If its based on git then more than likely, copies can be made and shared separate from the user instance. Users own their signature so changes cannot be forged but valid data can be proxied and cached. User data is fully portable from one vendor to the next.

Would you call git federated or decentralized?

So far as I understand, Git is both federated and decentralized - but I could easily be misunderstanding the definition of "federated" in this context.
