    Is this site purely driven by users?

Pretty much.

    How are unfortunate comments or links removed, if at all?

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.
