I'm also more than welcome to just attempt to take over the existing subs, which is much more convenient for everyone involved.

Inconvenience is a desired feature of the protest, but not of Reddit - at least not to this extent.

I never claimed it was. But if people are leaving to Lemmy, then they should leave the subs to people that are fine staying on Reddit. Ultimately, they don't own the subs, Reddit does, and if Reddit is willing to reassign them, I don't see a problem with that.
