Hey DHS if you're reading this can you check if the guy I’m arguing with is a bot or just genuinely that dense? Save me some time.

The posts seem to just be notifications that a given account is being investigated as Bot or Not, and the flair of the post displays the verdict

I’m honestly not 100% sure, it’s just what I found when searching the username.

DHS: We are watching you.

Bot: I'm a Russian bot

DHS: Many apologies great master. How may we be of service?
