Most of the time : Yes

But it depends on a lot of things :

Is there any viable alternatives ? What's the nature of the disagreement ? Is there a possibility of a fork emerging ? Etc...

I hate google but I can't replace Android studio at work or ask my employer to stop releasing updates on google play. If the disagreement is about project governance, I would support forking, see CoMaps or Forgejo. I will avoid projects for a variety of reason, two good examples are Manjaro and Hyperland, I avoid the former because of their collaboration politics and the later because they are plain bigots.

Politics can encompass a lot of thing and open source is a very political subject.
