Aren't there subreddits where everyone who joins is a mod by default?
Came here to say this as well. As funny as this would be if it were an accident, just prior to me going scorched earth on my accounts I saw several subreddits in protest that made everyone subscribed to their sub a mod, and confirmed it myself.
It's very likely a subreddit that the person was subbed to and forgot/didn't know they were doing that.
If I read the announcement correctly, that is implemented by a bot with mod privileges that parses comments and takes actions on users' behalf. I don't think it's practical to literally make every user a moderator.
On r/politicalhumor and r/madlads, the answer is yes. But you need subreddit karma to log mod actions. There is a bot running in those subs which facilitates it.
