Wish there was a button to turn pub discovery off

There are config options that should do this. There are also RPC commands for it (These update the config):

• sbot gossip.disable global - Disable connecting to pubs ("global gossip")
• sbot gossip.disable pub - Disable scanning db for pub messages
• sbot gossip.disable friends - Disable connecting to friends - Might be needed or not, I'm not sure
