Unhook replaces the function of DF and Hide Shorts, in addition to a few more nice options for hiding algo-slop. would highly recommend it! also Dearrow, which was made by the developer of SponsorBlock. it does the same thing as Clickbait Remover, but with added customization and community submitted replacements.
i’d consider checking out the urban midwest aswell. Chicago and Minneapolis are both cheap as hell, and have a lot of great people and vibes
