MODERATORS
facebook, twitter, and tumbler all got along without community moderation, i don't see how reddit would actually be any different. every subreddit is a glorified hashtag in the grand scheme of things.
The three companies you named all have employees or contractors who are paid by the company to work as moderators (well, Twitter used to, pre-Musk).
Facebook
Tumblr (Scroll down to the section where they discuss moderation)
Twitter
