People tend to ignore dedicated-channel rules as well.

That’s what moderation is for!

Yup. Delete the messages and redirect the user. If they get pissy they aren't a fit for the community.

Provided the community has clear rules on where to post gifs/memes redirecting the user is fine. Of course it should be a gentle reminder and not feel as if the user is getting berated.

If they still get pissy after that, it's more on the user. A reminder to follow the rules is not a personal attack.

I agree completely.

I think that's been part of my issue - there's a wealth of bad, or even just "ambivalent" actors, and not enough moderation in a lot of channels.

Plus, while stopping someone from hate speech feels like a clear action for moderation, berating them for things like posting memes in "general" can feel totalitarian. A lot of communities don't commit to that kind of strictness.
