That probably came across more snarky than intended. It actually felt softer than "Where'd ya read that?"
Here's the thing: Nowhere is it stated that you have the right to view content you posted in perpetuity, to say nothing about things posted by others. And mods have free reign to do whatever they want despite community wishes even if they rarely exercise that right.
Essentially, this whole situation has exposed a lot of realities with regard to users' rights on corporate platforms that you're in fine company in being aghast at.
Gmail could get the ax tomorrow. Will it? No ... but it's folly to expect it to continue forever because tomorrow's covered. The internet was the starting point of "you'll own nothing and love it" with your data. This is one of the results of the Faustian bargain.
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.

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.
