I could find this quote in The Collected Writings of Renzo Novatore, and he does attribute it to Bakunin.
That said: yeah. Reddit Inc. doublethinks everything when it comes to moderation. Today it's a duty, tomorrow it'll be a privilege again, only to become a duty again later on. Same deal with who should dictate the content of a subreddit (the community or the mods). And some suckers* fall for it.
And even the moderator guidelines are full of this doublethinking. They weren't crafted for the sake of the users (including mods), but to excuse Reddit Inc. to do whatever the fuck it wants, and then pretend that you agreed with it.
*source: I'm a sucker, I once fell for it. Never again.
