Don't know about RELOAD, but Matrix is basically not truly distributed,
since it's based on federation. IOW, it's similar to Jabber/XMPP,
except it's based on a decentralized *state*, so it naturally supports
asynchronous messaging (where the participants are never connected at
the same time), compared to XMPP where this only works if the stars are
all properly aligned.
