theres admins, powermods that toe the admins line, and mod underlings. admins>powermods(own hundreds of subreddits)> large sub mods(owns probably dozen or more subs> small mods maybe owning less than 5 subs. I was in a super niche sub and there were teen, hs seniors modding some of the more inappropiate subs like medical ones, users were kinda surprised it was a teen.
