I'm pretty sure most social media sites save those, what you decided not to say is valuable data after all, and trivial to collect and store. Probably not most Lemmy instances though since the code is open source and I assume someone would have complained by now.

that would be wild. that doesn't sound valuable enough to bother with, even for feeding a shitty LLM.

this is probably bad evidence but every ui I've interacted with is trying to preserve data and only send info once it seems certain you're posting. even reddit doesn't count your comments as edited until you make changes several minutes after commenting. since so many of these services seem to store actions in a buffer before sending, I don't think that's worth the data cost of live recording your drafts.

your keyboard app on mobile however.... yeah that shit is an info harvest on the scale I think few things are

Peeking at unposted messages is not new territory for many companies, including Facebook. In 2013, two workers there compiled data from 4 million users on what they called “last-minute self-censorship” — status updates, posts or comments that were written and then deleted.

About 70% of monitored users, they found, had self-censored that way over a period of about two weeks, and that rate changed based on lots of factors, including the makeup of their friend groups. But the focus of the research was all business: With too much self-censorship, they wrote, the social network “loses value from the lack of content generation.”

uckkkkkkkkk fuck what am I even supposed to do with this info. I can't afford to engrave some bullets for Mark Zuckerfuck this weekend. and I'm too stupid to play "touch-move" chess with my comment drafts.
