@_elena@mastodon.social @Daojoan@mastodon.social tbh that was probably also not great. I've been to a couple of other offices along Market Street back around that time and while the vibe inside was amazing, it's still not great when I think back and realize that most of what was built in that atmosphere across most of SV is now in one way or another either a direct tool for oppression or at the very least a company happily and openly funding an oppressive regime.

The flashy open spaces and the free food were pacifiers for people below a certain level of influence in these companies (sometimes maybe even all people since the true problems were coming from investors, not even from C-level people) to not ask too many questions and buy the utopian perspective they were being sold.
