Yeah, I saw it via private window. You can't reply to an account you blocked so the bot had to block me after tweeting it but before it showed up in my mentions. The comment itself is incoherently vague but also tonally inflammatory, so this may be what I call a 'gasoline bot'. https://t.co/OuCg6FUJpN

A gasoline bot is an account that seems to exist only to make people angry and polarize discussions. Best guess is it's a hostile foreign government doing low-grade social sabotage. It *could* just be an ordinary dumbshit asshole, of course.

14K following, 15K followers but none of apparent note, no blue check or name recognition, timeline is all retweets. Your best guess seems right on.

I'd check tweets and replies and see if it seems to be autogenerating replies. That's the one thing I can't see -- "tweets and replies" can't be viewed if you're logged out.
