I am confusing with decentralized. If there is no central server, how can my node find the first neighbor node? If there is a server maintain a nodes list, it isn't decentralized, right?

Just have to find one, right? Then it can clue yours in on the rest. So manually provision any neighbor, once?

Practically speaking a peer list is usually required in an otherwise decentralized system
