I used one of the less popular clients, Joey, so after the API bullshit went into effect I didn't really notice much for a while. But I did begin checking out alternatives, and that's when I saw Lemmy mentioned.

Then one day Joey stopped working, and it coincided with an announcement from the devs that they were affected by the API stuff, so I decided pretty quickly to pull the plug.

I logged in via desktop and checked if there were any saved links or similar I wanted to keep. I then logged onto the discord for one of the subreddits I frequented the most often, let them know that my favorite dinosaur was Triceratops (long story short, that's how people knew I was leaving for good), and told everyone goodbye.

I then manually redacted a few personal posts and deleted my account.
