Given that reddit surprisingly still has a working API, this isn't actually a hard thing to check. Here's a script that works courtesy of ChatGPT:

The highest non-bot user moderates 12 subreddits in the top 100. There's quite a few users who moderate more than 5. I believe the situation was much worse a few years ago, and reddit the company put pressure on them to give up some of their subs.

Can you provide the data that is output?

The highest person on there that isn't a bot moderates 13 subreddits. The second 12, and down from there. Doesn't look like anywhere near '92' for any 5 people.

Yes because like I said the fallout from the original post caused a lot of the power moderators to give up their spots. The biggest one "Cyxie" straight up deleted their account.

Ah, so the fact was wrong.

Cyxie just moved to the account TreKs

This is a list of accounts, not persons. One person could be operating several of these accounts.

Yes, that could be. It could also be two people for each account. We can make lots of conjecture, can't we?
