Even more accurately: it's bullshit.

"Lie" implies that the person knows the truth and is deliberately saying something that conflicts with it. However the sort of people who spread misinfo doesn't really care about what's true or false, they only care about what further reinforces their claims or not.

Federation woes?

Your comment has a different take though, and adding value to the discussion, it isn't just the same as I said. Both are complementary.

And this right here is why I like the Fediverse. Not immediately presuming the absolute worst case scenario and confidently asserting such, refusing to hear anything to the contrary? Offering kindness as well as accuracy in your answer? You didn't go for the jugular in trying (even if failing) to "pwn" your victim!? You, sir, would make a very bad modern Redditor ๐Ÿคช. Which is why I hope you stay here, where I can keep getting to read amazingly kind replies like these:-).
