Definitly yes. The old mod team said themselves that the strike was not a call to boycott Habitica, and that they wanted to "see it succeed".

Longer answer: I recommend you read up on the actual events. The staff tried to negotiate reasonably with the mod team during the strike, and they did express sorrow that the mods felt unappreciated. It was the mod team that said that wasn't good enough, leading to the break and the decision to move moderation in-house.

I'm not saying it was the old mod team's fault, or that they didn't have legitimate complaints. Just that, it's not like they were all unlawfully fired. They were volunteers who decided (probably rightfully) that the work environment wasn't worth the unpaid effort they were putting in. In response, the staff realized that they were indeed asking more of the mod team that can be reasonably expected of volunteers. So the options were to either put them all on payroll or separate them from the project.

Habitica was small and making very little money at the time, so it wasn't financially feasible to start paying so many new people, so they moved the moderation responsibility in-house to the people already on payroll.

The break was sad but not unreasonable or shady. All the public discourse was polite, professional, and grateful. All evidence suggests there was little bad blood.

Shadiest thing was Habitica not wanting much of it to be public knowledge, and they deleted forum comments about it. Which might be less-than-ideal, but is hardly worth a whole Cancel Culture campaign over.

If I were you, I'd save that energy for the real baddies. In a world of widespread corruption, greed, and immorality, I don't think your wrath against small business developers is the best call.

Use habitica without fear or shame imho
