According to the XDG Base Directory Specification, user-specific data files files should be stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/joe, or $HOME/.local/share/joe if $XDG_DATA_HOME is not defined.

There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific data files should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_DATA_HOME.

This avoids cluttering the home directory and simplifies including/excluding related directories from bulk operations such as backups.
