Unless there is some kind of federation issue any user could just follow the redirect and subscribe / participate in the other community with practically no hassle. I was able to subscribe to the communities on the new instance just fine. Any interruption of browsing would be solely due to stubbornness of not moving off principle. And maybe that principle is justified - maybe the new space will be moderated differently, in a way you find worse - but it does not change the fact that ultimately this is a small issue and you are blowing it out of proportion, on purpose, for no good reason.
It's also worth noting that the migration also means being open to beehaw users as well. We'd do a proper automated redirect and import over existing history if we could. The aim isn't to cause disruption. What's great about Lemmy is the ability to both not switch instances when accessing other communities and the ability to switch instances as needed.
It's not blown out of proportions because many, me included, simply never asked to move. If this is allowed then parking community names to force users to go to other communities should also be allowed.
It's not like you're being forced to move to a new house or something. It's like two clicks on a website.
I'm not saying that this issue isn't a real one, I'm trying to say you're being much too angry about it and (intentionally or not) stirring up a little witchhunt when this could be handled much more casually.
