Testnet Rippled keeps connecting to mainnet peers

[StrykerXRP]

I want to connect my rippled validator to the test net. I let it run last night and checked on is this morning. It had disconnected ~990 times so I went about finding the issue.

Running "rippled peers" I get a list of 1 or 2 validators on the testnet and a bunch on the mainnet ledger. How do I remove these peers and only connect to testnet peers?

I had followed instructions here: https://xrpl.org/connect-your-rippled-to-the-xrp-test-net.html
and also generated and added a validator token as instructed here: https://xrpl.org/run-rippled-as-a-validator.html

but would still like to figure out why it wants to otherwise peer mainnet
