There are always numerous means of every word when we considered (different parts of speech in terms of a noun, verb, adj, adverb).
When we considered in terms of a noun, Diversion comes from two words divert and diversion means to turn aside, to deviate from the path.
But amusement : an activity that diverts the mind from tedious or serious concerns; a recreation or pastime. It is a closed meaning but not the exact one, it is an expression of diversion.
So the more pertinent meaning is a deviation.

Distortion is nothing but destroying.
Amusement means entertainment then how it would be a synonym to diversion as diversion means deviation (i.e) changing from their actual path.
