So, I created account as this looks like a promising alternative to reddit. As far as I can tell, the tags work sorta-kinda exactly like subreddits, only there seems to be no information with regards to moderation?
Is this site purely driven by users? How are unfortunate comments or links removed, if at all?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Pretty much. Well, no one follows shitty people or trolls, so their posts won't get seen by anyone unless they go through the new queue like I did to find this. The post wasn't tagged, so I tagged it with a relevant one that will get more people to see this post and chip in their two cents. When users do pop up that seem crappy or posting image macros, I can just mute and ignore them, and since I follow a lot of people with a similar attitude to myself, they will probably do the same. So I won't see any crap like that because none of us would share it with each other. If I do start seeing crap like that, I'll see whos submitting it, sharing it, or what tag it is, and ignore/block accordingly to get it out of my feed.Is this site purely driven by users?

I will testify as a bolster. Not only have I seen this at work, but I have also learned how to craft my responses (even in just the last week) to keep the discussion flow moving and positive. It's a good place to talk about things.
I felt Reddit's hierarchy of moderation and spam filters is extremely sensitive and prone to abuse from moderators that simply don't like someone's views. I think Hubski solves this problem with a decentralized approach to moderation, where each user owns its own experience.
