I’m asking because I’m genuinely interested in understanding, it’s the first time I stumbled uppon the word “reactionary content” so I had a look what it means https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactionary which in this context probably means:
In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change
Is the reactionism here in this meme that it through comedy tries to ridicule the “strong and independent woman” and thus promotes a political perspective of the patriarchy? Or am I now reading too much into it?
In my opinion, random meme is not an appropriate place to discuss moderation in general – it’s unwieldy to have such things plastered all over the community/instance
Additionally, public discussions invite way too many responses on whole array of topics besides issue at hand
Lastly, public debate in text can easily be misrepresented, taken out of context, blown out of proportion etc etc
However this all is only my opinion, given good reasoning, anything could be reconsidered
I definitely see your point, but at the same time, isn’t public debate in text the best tool we have here for an open discussion?
Regardless, I can understand, and respect, that you don’t want to spend time on public discussions about moderation. As “some mod somewhere” once said: If you don’t like how it’s being done, become a mod yourself. I can respect that.

I want to believe this is true but such “best tool” requires substantial amount of resources to enact and maintain. And even then we might simply receive bad rep for overinvolvement
From a user standpoint, I think anyone interested in higher quality moderation should either try !humor@beehaw.org or indeed involve oneself in moderation of this community
We’ll keep this up this time but in the future please avoid reactionary content. Thank you

Responded in matrix DM
Why not here tho?
Congratulations, you have met a communist. This mod sounds almost like a satire of socialist thought-police.
edit: I was inspired to make c/mods
Because capitalists never tried to control people’s thoughts
Oh wait
Everyone gets to post one reactionary meme, please choose carefully!
That might be the dumbest thing I’ve read on this site. Sir.
Is this a real reply or trolling?
Memes are memes. Why you gotta police fucking jokes dude?
Because it’s my duty as a moderator. If you don’t agree with it, welcome to my or admin’s DM. Subsequent comments on the topic will be deleted.
I agree that moderators have an important job, and I appreciate the effort you put into it, but is
really necessary? I can’t see how it hurt to let them explain themselves in the comment section where everyone can see.

Because sometimes jokes are mean
This isn’t reactionary though.

Well, one can interpret the meme many ways, including reactionary. I agree with the view @snooggums@kbin.social presented.
