    I’ve been a paying affinity customer for years, and I’m not signing up for Canva.

    I get it’s “free”, but I’m sketched out.

      I’m not buying that it’s free unless it’s FOSS almost ever. Maybe it’s just a “create an account so we can collect data on you” deal, but that still isn’t free.

        Yes, you have to create an account in Canva and turn off a bunch of tracking that is set on by default. There’s even a record setting that is off at the time of me discovering it, but that just made me nervous.

        I recently downloaded it to try it out but i’m thinking of just torrenting adobe tbh.
