It'lll be interesting to see how pro-zionist or political party PACs devoted to social media influencing like (correct-the-record for the US democratic party) will affect the fediverse, and what we can do about it.
I think the most we can do about it is what you have already done and show awareness. Clearly we are already living among manipulators here in the fediverse. We can't pretend we're too small to be astroturfed or have any bad actors in here. We're loaded just like every other social media.
