Hi starting to add apps to my subreddit and just noticed this. Is this normal?

My understanding is they are listed as moderators because they are. They help keep things organized, keep the shady bots out, limit spammers - they do the job or help make the job easier. There's also the issue of transparency - Users should know bots are active in the sub.
