Another option, which seems more future-proof, is to strictly remove the account providers you don't want from INSTALLED_APPS rather than defining INSTALLED_APPS locally.

First, you have to access INSTALLED_APPS by importing settings into settings_local.py:

from settings import *

Then, you can set INSTALLED_APPS to everything it already is minus the social providers:

INSTALLED_APPS = [a for a in INSTALLED_APPS if not a.startswith('allauth.socialaccount.providers') and not a.startswith('django_mailman3.lib.auth.fedora')]

This way if Postorius ever adds any apps you won't need to update your local settings. Anyone see any downsides to doing it this way?
