They’re kept on other people’s servers, is what I meant.

I’ve wondered before now about an e-mail system which hosts the emails on one’s own device, and uses the activity-pub protocol : decentralised email, I guess…

The closest I’ve seen is Tox.

The most popular Western OS (and probably the other commercial OSs too) sends every key typed back to base. Plus every website visited. Plus every document amended.
