hey it is surprising that there is no way to disable buddy feature

Thank you for trying out the buddy. There's a /buddy off command you can use. It was a small April Fools feature and has been removed in the latest release, so closing this as not planned.

  1. /buddy off didn't actually remove the little colored buddy animation in

the corner that seemed to reset my terminal.

  1. The general principle we're trying to get across: put

optional/cosmetic/season features behind a parameter that completely
disables them, when you're messing with a tool that people depend on to do
their jobs.
