Trying to confront the Royal Court's ultimatum head on with some kind of written response seems like a losing proposition, because Reddit Inc ultimately controls the servers. Just as with most physical protests worth a damn, where it's just a matter of time until the police show up and break it up. The "malicious" compliance of /r/pics seems like the way to go. The subreddit is nominally available, the users are involved and showing support of the protest, a clear symbol has been chosen that shows the issue is not going to go away, and the subreddit is not operating with business as usual. An alternative approach for something like /r/firefox might be choosing a style sheet that was uncomfortable to read, maybe black text on black background, bright green text on pink background, or something like that. This would have the bonus effect of nudging users into using third party apps for accessibility's sake. They could even sticky a link to a third party app at the top of the subreddit, one that doesn't bow down to the API nonsense but rather functions through adversarial interoperability.
