That's cool, and I get your perspective. Here's mine - I understand why some people are upset and no longer wish to support Reddit. The "right" thing to do, IMHO, would have been to start another community, explain why, and give people the option of migrating - pin it at the top or something. If you want to be more forceful, lock the sub so that no new info can be posted. As it is now, a small group of people unilaterally took action to "punish" Reddit and in doing so assumed control over my (the universal my - not my specifically, although I'm obviously included) content. That makes the mods no better than the corporation they're trying to protest, they're just using my content to different ends.
Bottom line - each individual should have had the choice to boycott or not boycott.
I totally get where you're coming from and have a Trek-related analogy: the trope about planets with friendly, generous people ... who happen to be killing children or obeying an evil computer as the price of their utopian society. Not paying attention to the inner workings of a site because they don't currently negatively affect you doesn't change that Reddit and its mods have always had the ability to pull the shenanigans we're going through.
Having been through an abusive marriage, red flags hit a bit different (and are more numerous). I can prefer things went differently, but my opinion has no impact on the facts in play, and I'm sure as hell not willing to forgive without so much as the perfunctory "it'll never happen again" ... they're literally saying "it will happen again."
So I've chosen to cut my losses now. It's irritating that I'm having to navigate new waters because of the decisions of others, but it also brings into specific relief how much power those others had over my media consumption and mental state.
I'm certainly not trying to tell anyone a different reaction is inappropriate, just provide context they may not be thinking about. I'd probably be in the stubborn and indignant camp were I still in my 20s, after all.

Maybe I don't understand the mechanics of what has happened. Can you not access your own posts from the locked subs?
In any case this is unfortunately a consequence of reddit delegating moderation to the community : clearly the mods did have the "right" or at very least the "authority" to do what they did.
I've not been back to check on what things look like. My best guess would be that you can still see your full content in your profile, just not from anywhere it was posted.
@Powderhorn that's what I assumed, meaning you can take your content wherever you like, including another subreddit if you want
