I would argue you’re never going to be treated with more respect by a company than during the interview process. Once you’re on the payroll you have an incentive to tolerate objectionable treatment. If a company is willing to be this audacious in the interview stage I would have little hope of it getting better in that regard.

I nearly left lemmy because of Hexbear. Learning they could be blocked salvaged the platform for me. It’s not just you - they are pretty widely reviled.
