I am sure you’d all be ready to use Chabad’s services when needed, like if you’re stuck between two transfer flights in middle of honolulu, and anything else, so as Chazal say, don’t throw a stone into the well you drank from (no I am not a chabadnik – very far from it, but I am a Jew.)

A certain style, where when getting a haircut done, the area around the peyot are cut/shaved to make it look like they don’t exist/are not there as much as possible, without being able to call it downright assur mideorayta (which yes peyot is mideorayta, the shiur of it is a machaloket haposkim, but peyot in its core is mideorayta), and this is very concerning, something which definitely does not come from Rabbanim.
Going with any kind of hat/streimel etc as GadolHatorah stated is but a minhag based on the clothes that were and are worn within that setting/kehilla.
Peyot and the brit kodesh are the two physical simanim of a jew.
