I thought both sites were dead ten years ago, but I guess I was wrong? Are they this good because of a lack of current moderation or something?
Why are iFunny and FunnyJunk the last bastions of based and redpilled memes on the Internet?

i think it is because those sites were always a few years behind on memes. they are still stuck in meme culture form a few years ago when it was still okay to be based. give it a few years and they will become pozz'd.

not sure about iFunny, but Funnyjunk has a very simple algorithm. Most sites use some for of text recognition to identify content as "good" content (like liberal values) or "bad" content (like conservative values) and manipulates the visibility and ranking of content to hide bad content and only show good content. Funnyjunk, however, only considers the number of votes and the age of the content when ranking it.
Also, I think all botting is banned, so no fake thumbs or brigading comments.
Plus, funnyjunk is pretty lenient on banning, only really doing so if someone is being incredibly vile or posting nudity on the SFW section. All bans are automatically IP bans, even when just short suspensions
Oh and most people forget funnyjunk is still around, and the admin put a lot of work into hiding his identity so he can't be attacked or bought out. For all we know he really is as he claims to be, Kim Jong Un, Supreme Leader of North Korea.
Additionally, anything on funnyjunk always has it's visibility decay over time. Generally you'll only see specific content once and it won't pop up in your feed again, so you don't come back to older content after composing complicated replies, unless you're drawn into a fight with a troll.
Funnyjunk was pretty pro-ukriane for a while, but now it seems most stuff about the war doesn't gain traction no matter the side. Unless it's really funny
