don't I also need to run addnode= and give it some peers. otherwise it will just rely on whatever is in chainparams?

There are fixed seeds that generally will help, but in case that fails, you can just call addnode <peer ip/onion/etc> onetry over rpc.

But I think Melvin Carvalho's comment was about the fixed seeds, he was pointing out that Todd is one of the fixed seeds and so if a person runs a clearnent node, the software will default to connecting to the fixed node seeds, one of which is Todd's. Did I misunderstand?

Hmm I think he was talking about Peter's DNS seed, which you disable with dnsseed=0. But you don't connect to all seeds iirc (unless that changed and I missed it (which would be bad)).

From the 1000 or so hardcoded nodes in fixed seeds, your node picks a couple (randomly) until you have a sizable address book of peers of your own, then doesn't use them anymore.

You can turn that off too with fixedseeds=0.

got it, thanks. But if I do both dnsseed=0 and fixedseeds=0 I would need to provide a node to connect to, otherwise my node wouldn't know how to find a peer, right?

yes, or copy a peers.dat that you already have.
