running Matrix Bridges is generally a 3 step process:

- create a bot
- run the appservice so that it can be registered with the bot
- tell synapse of the bot's existence

step 2 is where nixOS comes in, if there is a module configured for the service it's not necessary to go through the configuration steps and instead write something like `services.matrix-appservice-discord.enable = true;` in `configuration.nix`
I don't yet know what to do in nixOS specifically if there is no module (write one, lol)
