Is there a decentralized version of USDT ? or any project is doing it? I feel the centralized version has huge risk to invest. If there is no project, I would love to gather a bunch of people to develop it.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Yes. There is Nubits and BitUSD.

Nubits is decentralized and runs its own ledger whilst BitUSD relies on the Bitshares blockchain. I have no idea how nubits work since it's just so complicated but it has indeed held its value over the past few years so that's a good sign. BitUSD is generated from people shorting a particular currency.

There is also steem dollars, similar to BitUSD, but very volatile.

USDT is supposedly decentralized, but its value obviously still relies on the reserves of tether. The coins aforementioned do not.

Because USDT is theoretically anchored to the U.S. dollar, I think although USDT is an altcoin, it should actually be centralized or we will not be held responsible for the value of USDT when we redeem cash. USDT against the dollar against the 1: 1, so someone must endorsement.
