mautrix-discord doesn't bridge presence. lotus_presence.py watches the Discord
server (a second gateway session on the bridge's own bot, Guilds + Presence
intents only) and sets presence and a status message on each @discord_* ghost:
online / idle / DND / offline -> online / unavailable / msc3026 busy / offline;
custom status and the first activity become the status message.
Its own appservice registration is non-exclusive on the ghost namespace, so it
can update ghosts but not create them. Synapse drops an unrefreshed user to
offline after about a minute, so live states are re-sent every 20 s; if the
service dies, ghosts go offline rather than stale. The installer generates the
credentials on the server and doesn't restart Synapse. Statuses and activities
are never logged.
