That makes sense and it's why my mind got curious about how software could be curated. It sounds like we aren't there technically yet and may never be.

As for drafts, I don't use them for one. But my primary issue is that what I type is being intentionally recorded against my will before I explicitly choose to share those thoughts.

I get that the NSA or keyboard could be spying. Granted. But it is the principle of having no choice. Yes, I could have them saved locally. But I dont want them saved automatically anywhere unless I click a save button. It feels like an invasion to me given how I "think type." I've found drafts containing thoughts I'd chosen against sharing and never knew they were being saved. Admittedly, that experience tainted me from the start because I discovered by accident that drafts were being saved.

But even forgiving what felt like a betrayal of trust (not being told my thoughts were recorded even when I chose not to share them), I just dont want them saved anywhere unless I explicitly choose to save them. It's also annoying now that I use Amber because (I think) this feature triggers event approvals at times.

Mostly, it just feels like a violation to me and I wouldn't use Amethyst if I had a similar option that doesn't do this. Running Citrine doesn't really address the issue for me entirely. It is better than having my private thoughts fired off into the universe, but I still feel abused by having no choice in the matter. I would disable it if I could, but even a "Save as Draft" explicit choice would essentially solve my biggest issues.

On a side note, how many technical resources are being wasted on drafts people dont actually want to save? For me, the answer is whatever goes into any of them being saved.

To clarify the Amber point, Amethyst requests an even deletion any time I delete all text in a note. I suspect this is Amethyst sending the 'delete request' (this wording alone should give you pause, as I never wanted it to be saved in the first place and now I have to request its deletion, which may or may not happen unless I run a separate app all the time on my phone). That's my main issue.

I see. Well, just to make you at ease. The drafts are encrypted. Only you can read them. It's similar to a DM to yourself.
