Disable echo buff or use Party Finder like you guys always did. In DF you can't force people to play in the same way as you, of course you could nicely ask them to disable it like you guys always do when you want that speed run or want people to skip all cutscenes but i rather just finish the run quick since people in DF you will never meet again or anytime soon.

Anyway just keep using PF like always and you will be fine, nothing here is forced if there's options.
